Dodge, deny or fib: Candidates stay vague on 2024 plans

Associated Press  

WASHINGTON — They dodge. That’s despite Newsom sparking speculation about a 2024 presidential run should Biden not seek reelection, running ads slamming Republican leadership in Florida and Texas. Obama was elected to the Senate in 2005 and told NBC in January 2006 that he’d serve his full term, adding “I will not” run for president in 2008. He suggested governors going back to Jimmy Carter and Bill Clinton saw their presidential aspirations hurt their popularity back home, where voters “can be resentful and twice as hard on a candidate that they’ve grown up with and that they’ve seen.” “What we call it here in Maryland is the crab pot effect,” O’Malley said. “When one crab’s trying to escape out of the pot, the other ones will pull him back in.” While running for Senate in Texas in 2018, Democrat Beto O’Rourke slammed incumbent Republican Ted Cruz for having spent so much time traveling outside the state running for president in 2016.
