According to reports, this is not the first time Biden has expressed his will to run in 2024.
In Brussels, Belgium, last month, Biden said he would be "very lucky" to run against former President Donald Trump in the 2024 election.
Despite his poor approval ratings, Biden still sees himself as the Democratic nominee most likely to beat Trump, the source said, the biggest deciding factor in his consideration of a candidacy.
Biden and Obama had lunch together earlier this month, but it is unclear when the two discussed the 2024 election, the report said.
The White House did not comment on the conversation between the two men.
On the 10th local time, a poll released by the United States showed that Biden’s approval rate dropped to 42% in early April, the lowest level since his election.
