Carolyn Maloney says Biden not to run for second term

WORLD  14 August 2022 - 14:25

A leading House Democrat told The New York Times in an interview published on August 13 that President Joe Biden is not running for re-election in 2024 — appearing to give an "off the record" remark to the publication.

Rep. Carolyn Maloney of New York, who is running for re-election in the city's 12th Congressional district, was asked by The Editorial Board about whether Biden should seek re-election, Insider informs.

"Off the record, he's not running again," Maloney, the chairwoman of the House Committee on Oversight and Reform, said during the interview, which was conducted on August 1.

"Not off the record. On the record," Times editorials editor Jyoti Thottam said.

"On the record?" Maloney responded. "No, he should not run again."

A spokesperson for Maloney did not immediately respond to Insider's request for comment on August 13.

Earlier this month, Maloney said during a debate that she didn't think Biden would run again in 2024.

"I don't believe he's running for reelection," the congresswoman said at the time.
