A debate surrounding former Vice President—and current front-runner for the Democratic nomination—Joe Biden has recently been revived. The question: should Biden publicly pledge to serve a single term?

While the former VP has yet to announce anything publicly, he has reportedly signaled to aides that, if elected, he would only serve a single term. Many Biden advisers and top Democrats believe a one-term stint in office by Biden would greatly benefit the Democratic Party, and even his campaign. By vowing to serve a single term and choosing a running mate and Cabinet that’s young and diverse, Biden could conceivably brand himself as the best candidate to defeat Trump and usher in the party’s next generation of leaders.
