The tortured history of Joe Biden's presidential campaign announcements
any final decision on who would run the day-to-day grind of a campaign, or even where it would be based.
If all of this sounds muddled, it can be, at least from the outside. Biden World is an insular place, with only a handful of advisers ever really understanding what the boss is truly thinking. For his part, Biden cares about fewer. While his family was on board for his 2016 campaign, even his closest advisers had doubts. “I don’t think you should do this,” Mike Donilon told Biden on Oct. 20, 2015—the last night his would-be-campaign staff huddled.
The same was true in 2020. “I just thought the price was going to be too high,” Valerie Biden Owens wrote in her memoirs, weighing her support for her brother with her own family’s fragility so soon after Beau Biden’s death. Joe Biden had told aides even into last fall that he wanted to wait as long as he could before announcing his re-election bid, perhaps even well into 2024 itself. To Biden’s mind, the longer he can wait to start acting like an official candidate, the longer he can delay raising the money needed to wear that title. A national campaign this time could cost Biden and his allies as much as $2 billion to be credible, and Biden, frankly, hates to ask people for money.
