The president’s family members have discussed how he would want to end his re-election bid on his own timing and with a carefully calculated plan in place.
Biden never said he would only seek 1 term. Some unidentified staffer told a reporter that during the campaign. I don’t think it’s fair to hold him to a commitment he never made.
Agreed that he’s done a great job and now is the time to pass the baton.
I don’t see how that conflicts. He says he wants to be a bridge to a new generation or whatever, and specifically declined to state whether or not he would seek a second term when asked. That’s not commiting to being a 1 term president at all. No candidate is ever going to close that door so early.
Thank God. Biden had a great term and now it’s time for him to pass the torch to someone else, like he said he was going to do in the beginning.

Part of his campaign was that he was going to be a bridge candidate.

You’re technically correct. It’s just his campaign heavily implied it. And now he’s acting surprised when people are bringing it up.
