Incumbent President almost always runs unopposed. 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 am still going to vote for the D nominee out of pure spite for the right…but something has to give, there needs to be voting reform before the next general which incluudes ranked choice or at some point the choices will ne worse than this time around.

True enough, but I also don’t think during the 2020 election, anybody thought that if Trump lost, at practically 80 years old, he would be the R candidate in the 2024 election as well.
I honestly wish the right wasn’t so regressive, crazy, and having such a hold on half the country. I’d love to vote for someone else for president, but the risk of the right winning is just too damaging.
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.

It was the Dems initiative to get someone else to go but just did nothing but ride the coattails
I don’t know where this idea started, it’s certainly something I expected him to do.
