Pesident Biden on Wednesday pointed to early 2023 for when to expect an official decision on if he will run for reelection, while stressing that he intends to run again.

“I hope Jill and I get a little time to actually sneak away for a week around, between Christmas and Thanksgiving,” Biden said at a post-midterm election press conference at the White House. “My guess is it will be early next year we make that judgment.”

The president stressed that he doesn’t feel pressure to announce his reelection campaign, regardless of whether former President Trump announces another White House bid. Earlier this week, Trump teased a “very big announcement” coming next week.

“My judgment of running when I announce, if I announce— my intention is that I run again, but I’m a great respecter of fate and this is ultimately a family decision. I think everybody wants me to run, but we’re gonna have discussions about it,” Biden said. “And I don’t feel any hurry one way or another to make that judgment, today, tomorrow, whenever, no matter what my predecessor does.”
