Though something no one is mentioning is if he felt like he had to stay on to do the right thing, and made a very difficult decision to step down, part of this energy may be a relief we’ve all felt at one point or another.
I just can’t shake the feeling that Biden never really wanted the job. He took it because he was convinced he was needed to oust Trump.
He ran in 88 and 2008, ran as a vice president 2008 and 2012, skipped 2016 and ran again 2020 and 2024. I’d say it lines up, Biden always wanted to be president, and his only regret seems to be that he was persuaded not to run in 2016.
Sure.

He first ran in the 1970s, he’s definitely wanted to be a president for a long time. I do wonder, though, if Trump was what really pushed him to go.
And then doesn’t try again until 2020? And only after witnessing a lineup that he thought couldn’t win against Trump? Don’t think that lines up.
