I don't know the context in which it came up days ago. Perhaps it was in a more open ended "get to know" type of interview he was doing.
Biden's approval numbers are absolute garbage - I suspect he'll have a contested run in 2024 (or "voluntarily" decline to run) and all the sharks want to start getting their names in the headlines.
Right now I don’t see any way he’ll run knowing he won’t win.
