BREAKING NEWS – Des Moines, Iowa – Former Vice President Joe Biden has been signaling to aides that he would likely serve only one term in office if elected president in 2020, according to a recent report. Campaign advisers and some top Democrats have been debating whether he should publicly announce his intention not to seek a second term, but Biden is concerned that going public could make him a lame duck and rob him of political capital, Politico reported.
“If Biden is elected,” a prominent adviser to the campaign told the news website, “he’s going to be 82 years old in four years and he won’t be running for re-election.”
Upon getting criticized that his idea makes him appear to be weak and too old, Biden said he was misquoted. “My staff didn’t understand what I said,” the former vice president explained. “I never said I wanted to be a ‘one term’ president. I said I wanted to be a ‘wonton’ president as in wonton soup. Thus what I was proclaiming was, I would eat up the Chinese in trade deals. Trust me, I know what I’m talking about. And I think I’ll do such an impressive job, that I’ll easily get re-elected in the 2022 mid-terms.”
