We keep saying it because Biden did promise it, if only obliquely. Insiders from the Biden camp who defend Biden do not say he always planned to run for a second term. They say he changed his mind. When a politician leads voters to believe he has given them an assurance and then "changes his mind", voters will never forgive him for it. The most obvious case is Bush's "no new taxes" pledge. And Bush's change of mind was much better reasoned than Biden's.
“Obliquely” is doing a lot of work here. Can you show me where he said he would only run for one term please? Can you provide evidence of this claim please? Otherwise why don’t we report what he said not what you thought.
The problem is he never promised this. I don’t know why people keep saying this.
Sure in retrospect he shouldn’t have ran but we don’t need to skirt the truth that he would only run for one term
