I think what's being swatted down as "elite opinion" from NYT/Crooked types is actually the piercing of a bubble from below. Most voters haven't wanted Biden to run again for literally years.
he definitely said it in a debate and elsewhere, convincingly enough for many people to believe it. he may not have meant it, but he said. so this all just proves my point that we can’t trust what he says. ✌🏻
well i watched every debate and talked with other people constantly. unless we’re dealing with a Mandela Effect or we’re being gaslit, he did say it at some point.
Memory is weird like that! He did say something about being a bridge to the next generation of leaders - it wouldn't be too unfair to accuse him of implying he'd only serve one term without actually committing to it.
