    That being said, he ran as the adult in the room to get us back from the right, and was NOT expected to run for reelection.

    I don’t know where this idea started, it’s certainly something I expected him to do.

      From his campaign saying it in 2019 and 2022, though he avoided making it a promise (not that a promise would mean anything coming from a politician anyways).

      This was explicitly used as an argument to boost him over other younger candidates in the 2020 primary field.

        Interesting; granted it seems to be a campaign advisor’s opinion stated as-if it were fact so I’d wager that’s probably more bad reporting than it is a campaign promise.
