Fucking duh. For one, it's too early in his career to make the run for POTUS again. He just tried to get the nom 4 years ago and failed. Who would try that again and seriously hope to win?

For another he's in Biden's cabinet. Primarying a sitting president is dumb as hell, and always fails. He'd be sacrificing a good secretary position for an embarrassing flop.

Maybe 2028 he will have a chance. He's young and building a resume. But 2024? Lol no

I'm sure he is fielding media questions and wanted to make it clear he wasn't running.

Probably. There's always drama around the speculation and newspapers need content.

I sure wasted my time reading that article, and watching the embedded video.

I assumed since the quote is “I’m Completely Absorbed In This Day Job”, that there might be something interesting and new, like railroad regulations, bridge repairs. Nope, just flying cars and "are you running for president?"

There wasn't even a link to the original interview

If he was running, he would have declared victory in Iowa by now.

He's not running in 2024 after pretending to be progressive in 2020 just to immediately concede and throw his supporters behind Biden...

His current "day job" was likely part of the agreement for him staying out till Biden is done
