Sitting President Joe Biden shocked Americans today after announcing plans to run against Donald Trump in 2020.

‘I’ve got a good feeling about this,’ Biden told a bewildered press conference outside the White House.

‘Donald Trump doesn’t know his time has come – we’re going to take this country back.’

CNN reporter Joe Chung took the opportunity to quiz Biden on what year it was. He was met with a blank stare before White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre interjected and said they would need to check and circle back.

Despite attempts to wrestle the mic away, Biden was able to reel off a few policy ideas. These included combating the Covid-19 virus through a national test and trace programme and raising the minimum wage.

‘We going to stick it to Putin too. That guy’s not getting any more of Ukraine’, a defiant Biden shouted as he was dragged off stage.

Rather than seizing on the gaffe to score points for his 2024 bid, Donald Trump welcomed the opportunity to re-open conversations regarding his voter fraud delusions.

‘Sleepy Joe’s finally woken up to stealing the election,’ Trump responded from his Mar A Lago residence.

‘He knows he cheated, and now he’s said it, we’re going to re-do the election. It’s officially going to be the best redo of all time.’

With both men fixated on 2020, The National Council on Ageing has suggested running a mock campaign to placate them.

‘It’s the only way to calm them down and put their minds and ease,’ spokesperson Oscar Erikson said.

‘While it might seem like a lot of work, a make believe election is going to be a lot less stressful than four more years of either of these two.’
