White House mum on Biden’s 2024 plans after signaling final decision over holidays

The White House on Tuesday declined to shed light on President Biden’s deliberations about running for reelection in 2024, after setting expectations that he would make his final decision over the holidays.

White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre pointed reporters to Mr. Biden’s previous comments that he “intends to run,” but declined to provide further details about when he would make his final decision.

“He has said that he intends to run and I’m certainly not going to get ahead of the president,” Ms. Jean-Pierre said, asserting that Mr. Biden’s near-term focus will be on improving the lives of the American people.
