Biden wants to serve until 2029 - White House | 9 July 2024 | Joe Biden is determined to stay in office for a full second term if reelected, according to White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre. Biden did so poorly in the TV debate with Republican challenger Donald Trump two weeks ago that dozens of media outlets, prominent Democrats, and major party donors urged him to step aside. The 81-year-old has refused, insisting that he can beat Trump in November. "Does President [sic] Biden commit to serving a full second term if reelected?" Jean-Pierre was asked during the White House briefing on Tuesday. "Yes," she replied.
