Five signs Biden is definitely running for another term

President Biden is expected to announce another bid for the presidency sometime in the early months of the new year.  

Officially, Biden is still considering whether to run for a second term, and the president’s age and approval ratings — he is 80 and more people in polls generally hold a negative than positive view of his presidency — have led some to privately doubt whether he’ll go forward.  

“I love the guy,” one Democratic strategist said. “But even I have my doubts.”  

Despite such misgivings, most of the signals coming from Biden, the White House and the Democratic Party suggest he is fully planning to run for reelection.  

Here are the reasons why so many people are certain that Biden is running again. 

The Democratic field is quiet. There’s not much talk of any Democrat other than Biden jumping into the 2024 fray.
