President Joe Biden finally announced he is running for a second term, calming Democrats who feared the hour was getting late to replace him if he decided otherwise.
Multiple Democratic strategists told the Washington Examiner Biden could have waited longer if he wanted. “As long as there was no competition, there was no reason he absolutely had to get into the race by a date certain,” said one. Another previously said there might be some utility to waiting until the identity of the Republican presidential nominee was known.
“At some point, it would have been malpractice for him not to start alerting donors and other prospective candidates that he wasn’t going to run,” another Democratic strategist said.
