If Trump in fact decides to run again, does this make Joe Biden more likely to seek reelection? Of course unless he's unable for health reasons. Tbh, I'd be more comfortable in this scenario with him running again because incumbency still matters and Biden is the only person who defeated Trump.

Absolutely. Biden ran on rejection of Trump; therefore, Trump running again is one of the biggest potential challenges to his legacy. I'm confident it'd make him feel more compelled to run if he had any faith in his own political abilities, which he'd likely to retain regardless of performance due to having a presidential ego.

Yep, 2024 could very well be a rematch which is pretty depressing

The last rematch between a winner and a loser ended up much the same.

Most likely the choice for either is up to a physician... if either candidate heeds the advice. Joe Biden is in better shape than Donald Trump.

Yes, and more likely to win.

He is more likely to run again, James Carville already said Biden is running in 2024, since the Insurrectionists have spoiled Rs chances of a Congressional majority and likely to hold Congress after Midterms

Most people don’t associate them with Republicans apart from Trump, Cruz and Hawley. This is of course in spite of the fact that 58% of GOP voters approved of the Capitol Hill riots.

It will definitely make party insiders want him to run again, unless there is some sort of major health issue. Trump is too much of a threat to be President again, and Biden running against him after cleaning up the mess he put the country too is too tantalizing to let anyone else run against him.

Wishful thinking.  The Dems will be running those ads regardless of who the GOP nominee is

Considering Biden got into the 2020 race specifically because he felt he was the most likely to defeat Trump, and how important he viewed the task of defeating Trump, yes I would say it makes a Biden re-election campaign more likely. I might even go so far as to say that the only way Biden doesn't run in 2024 is if Trump decides not to run again.
