I'm sure that will free him up to do whatever Mitch McConnell wants without concern for his re-election campaign.

Don't forget about his recent heart attack, too. Or whatever heart related issue he had a couple months ago.

He's basically the safe, pre-Trump status quo, non-ideological establishment candidate. He's not going to shock anyone or go off the deep end and utterly ruin anything on a whim nor is he going to calculatingly try to do any seismic shifts to the economy or society.

Believe me when I say that there are a ton of suburban wealthy voters that are very anti-Trump but don't want to vote for a huge tax increase candidate like Warren or Sanders or relative unknowns like Pete. This voter block head desks at his gaffes but are willingly to look past them compared to his opponents. Plus he has huge black support for reasons I can't entirely explain.

Bernie making it two terms is about a 3-in-4 chance, but there are two vitally important differences:
1) Bernie is not saying he would serve one term ahead of time
2) Bernie's VP would likely be a much different person than Biden's VP

If I'm Biden, and assuming the report is true, I'd be upfront about this. IIRC Perot toyed with the idea of one term if elected. He got a lot of support from people who argued that a president interested in one term wasn't as beholden to polls and "special interests" (a possible dog whistle) in their decsisionmaking.

A lot of people liked the idea. I'm not entirely sold on it, myself. In part because most of Congress is interested in re-election, etc. They could just stonewall everything until a more favorable time or president.

This also puts a lot of focus on the VP choice. With a 70-something president, people are going to want that VP to be damn good - and young.

A lot of Biden's support likely comes from ex-Republican voters who are still fairly conservative, just don't like Trump. They're never going to vote for someone like Butt/Bernie/Warren in the primary.

He'd be the first Independent to win the election, right? 4-years of HISTORY.

A vote for anyone other than Biden is a vote for Trump.

The Democratic party can only nominate one candidate. Butt.

And it isnt going to be Bernie or Warren. So you're only other choices are Biden and (maybe) Buttiguig.

Of course youd want that, especially in a case like this where it lines you up to be the next Democratic President after one term of being the VP.
The democratic convention are not putting people like Bernie in charge. Anyone who thinks otherwise are delusional.

The American system is basically choosing between two trash cans to eat from, and being force fed from one of them if you don't choose one.
