Biden Announces He Hasn’t Announced He Plans to Run for President
I enlisted Kamala’s help in writing this headline 🤣

During the Today show coverage of the annual White House Easter Egg Roll, President Biden, 80, said to Al Roker, “I plan on running Al, but we’re not prepared to announce it yet.”

More from Today:

“I plan on at least three or four more Easter egg rolls,” Biden said as the two chatted on the Truman Balcony. “Maybe five. Maybe six, what the hell.”
Until Monday, Biden, who at 78 became the oldest person to win the presidency in 2020, had not made any of his plans for a reelection campaign known. His office has not made an official announcement.

In other Easter Egg Roll news, workaholic Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg finally takes time out of his busy schedule to have some fun. Luckily, a photographer was there to capture the moment. (Note: I sorta feel bad writing this with kids in the photo.)

U.S. Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg (L) and husband Chasten Buttigieg and their children Penelope and Gus attend the annual Easter Egg Roll on the South Lawn of the White House in Washington, DC, on April 10, 2023. The tradition dates back to 1878, when President Rutherford B. Hayes invited children to the White House for Easter and egg rolling on the lawn.
