President Joe Biden may be talking like a candidate, but he's not yet running as one, prompting his allies to chart out campaign plans slowly behind the scenes.
His confidants have reportedly been eyeing top talent and brainstorming strategy as a decision from the president looms. Biden has repeatedly insisted he intends to run for reelection, but he has also been bogged down by multiple political skirmishes, such as the lingering debt ceiling battle and troubles abroad, including the war in Ukraine and an increasingly assertive China.
“The decision part is over, but he resents the pressure to have to announce what he’s already decided,” one source said. “It’s frustrating, but it’s also very Joe Biden.” By refraining from making his reelection bid official, the president is keeping the option not to run on the table. If he were to step out of consideration, Democrats would be caught flat-footed without much of a backup plan in place, as other top members of the party haven't taken steps to build a campaign operation.
