Will You Vote For Him Again? President Biden Says He Will Run For Re-election If He Is ‘In Good Health’
In an interview with ABC News Wednesday, President Joe Biden said he would run for re-election if he was “in good health” and he believed “fate” would help bring him a second chance for another term.
“If I’m in the health I’m in now – I’m in good health – then, in fact, I would run again,” Biden told “World News Tonight” anchor David Muir, adding that he would welcome a rematch with former President Donald Trump. “I’m a great respecter of fate. Fate has intervened in my life many, many times.”
“Why would I not run against Donald Trump if he were the nominee? That would increase the prospect of running,” the 79-year-old Democrat said.

While speaking with the anchor, Biden went on to speak on the pandemic and the new spike, saying the US response to the Omicron variant surge was not a “failure,” but regretted not ordering millions of free rapid tests for Americans “two months ago.”
Biden, who announced plans Tuesday to purchase 500 million at-home tests and give them out for free next month, said the administration should have been better prepared to combat the highly transmissible variant: “I wish I had thought about ordering” the tests “two months ago,” he told Muir. “I don’t think it’s a failure. I think it’s — you could argue that we should have known a year ago, six months ago, two months ago, a month ago.”
