Biden Suggests He Would Only Serve One Term if Elected President

Advisers close to the candidate say he won’t run for reelection in 2024 if elected in 2020.

In her ruling, Judge April Perry began by citing a lengthy quote from the Federalist Papers in which Alexander Hamilton addressed concerns that a tyrannical US president would use a militia from one state to invade and occupy another state.
