Democratic insiders in Washington and key primary states expect President Biden to follow through on his intention to stand for re-election and appear to have little appetite for casting him aside, though they expressed concerns about his advanced age and persistently low poll numbers.
The White House has repeatedly said that Mr. Biden, 79, the oldest president to be sworn into office, intends to run for re-election.

The current discussion is that an announcement would happen after the midterm elections, likely sometime in the spring of 2023, this person said.
