美国总统拜登周三在接受美国广播公司《今夜世界新闻》主播大卫·穆尔(David Muir)的独家采访时表示,“是的”,他计划在2024年再次竞选——如果他的前任唐纳德·特朗普(Donald Trump)竞选,那么这将“增加前景”,甚至更多。
"你打算竞选连任吗?"穆尔在白宫的一次静坐采访中问拜登。
“是的,”总统回答道。“但是你看,我非常尊重命运。命运多次介入我的生活。如果我身体健康,我现在就在——从一个健康的身体。事实上,我会再跑一次。”

2021年12月22日,美国广播公司记者大卫·穆尔在白宫采访拜登总统..
"如果这意味着与唐纳德·特朗普的复赛呢?"穆尔问道。特朗普只有一个任期,有资格在2024年再次参选。
“你现在试图诱惑我,”拜登笑着说。“当然可以。为什么我不会和唐纳德·特朗普竞选提名?这将增加跑步的前景。”
今年早些时候,78岁的拜登就任总统时,成为宣誓就任总统年龄最大的人,关于他是否会寻求连任的问题一直伴随着他的总统生涯。
随着拜登的支持率下降,白宫新闻秘书珍·普萨基上个月告诉记者,拜登确实打算再次竞选。
去年大选前,拜登告诉穆尔,如果当选,他“绝对”计划当8年总统。
Biden tells ABC's David Muir 'yes' he'll run again, Trump rematch would 'increase the prospect'
President Joe Biden said Wednesday in an exclusive interview with ABC "World News Tonight" anchor David Muir that, "yes," he planned to run again in 2024 -- and if his predecessor, Donald Trump, runs, then it would "increase the prospect" even more.
"Do you plan to run for reelection?" Muir asked Biden during a sit-down interview at the White House.
"Yes," the president replied. "But look, I'm a great respecter of fate. Fate has intervened in my life many many times. If I'm in the health I'm in now -- from a good health. And, in fact, I would run again."

"And if that means a rematch against Donald Trump?" Muir asked. Trump, who served only one term, is eligible to run again in 2024.
"You’re trying to tempt me now," Biden said, laughing. "Sure. Why would I not run against Donald Trump for the nominee? That’ll increase the prospect of running."
Biden, at age 78, became the oldest person sworn in as president when he took office earlier this year, and questions about whether he would seek a second term have followed him throughout his presidency.
With Biden's popularity sagging, White House press secretary Jen Psaki told reporters last month that Biden did intend to run again.
Last year before the election, Biden had told Muir he "absolutely" planned on being president for eight years if elected.
