He won’t run for president in 2024. He wants to get that 4th term which has father never got so badly.
Why can't he have his cake and eat it, too? He can get his fourth term in '22, and then make moves to go national in '24.
Here's my twisted logic. The guy is a massive egomaniac who clearly believes he has the ability to run the country. He's 62 now. If he sits out '24, he runs the risk of a Dem winner who sits in office for 8 years. That means he'd be 74 before he gets another legit chance. If he holds any aspirations for higher office, he's going to take his chance while it's there.
