Maybe someone here could refresh my memory. I could have sworn that during 2020 campaigning, Biden indicated he would be a one term president that would willingly let a younger Democrat run for 2024. I haven't seen anyone really rake him through the coals over that, so maybe it was some misinformation that was spread to make him more attractive, but I feel like it was a really key reason I felt comfortable supporting him.

January 6th occurred, Trump has been relatively unscathed, and Trump is running again. That's what has changed since 2019.

If Trump had been fully prosecuted, or had decided not to run Biden likely wouldn't be running.
