Wow, I'm impressed that Joe even remembers who Trump is!“If Trump wasn’t running, I’m not sure I’d be running,” the president told donors.
President Joe Biden told donors in Boston on Tuesday that he might not be running for reelection had Donald Trump not entered the race.
“If Trump wasn’t running, I’m not sure I’d be running,” Biden said, according to reporters present at the event. “But we cannot let him win.”
Biden didn’t immediately elaborate on that thought process, but the admission shouldn’t come as much of a shock.
Going back to 2020, Biden’s campaign pitched him to voters as the party’s best chance at stopping Trump from securing another term in office, arguing that an establishment Democrat would do better in swing states than his progressive rivals for the nomination.
When he succeeded in nabbing the nomination and winning the general election, Trump seemed unlikely to be a formidable opponent in 2024.
He’d lost the popular vote by a sizable margin, squandered support in the Republican Party over his role in the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol and declared that the American election system had been rigged against him in the 2020 election.
But within two years, Trump had announced his candidacy. He’s currently polling as the front-runner for the GOP nomination by massive margins.

Biden Says He Might Not Be Running If Trump Weren’t In The Race
So, if Trump gets knocked out of the race, Biden may drop out. Very interesting. What do you think?
