Peter Hamby: You and I have been talking for months about the remarkable lack of clarity surrounding whether Joe Biden will run for re-election in 2024. On some level, that’s entirely predictable, given that Biden is turning 80 years old and has a history of electoral indecision, himself. But I imagine it also speaks to a deeper ambivalence inside the Democratic Party: How can you possibly telegraph the evolving probability that the incumbent president steps down without extinguishing his political capital or losing control of the succession planning? Are we headed for an open primary?
