Bowman, a Democrat who has been representing New York’s 16th congressional district since 2021, deflected when he was dealt the question during a panel on CNN’s "State of the Union" after the show aired soundbites of fellow Democratic Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Cori Bush, Jerry Nadler, and Carolyn Maloney refusing to answer that same question in recent weeks.
Bowman said that he wants "us to keep winning as Democrats right now in the House."
"We’re talking a year or two away," Bowman said. "I’m not thinking a year or two away."
CNN’s Brianna Keilar cut Bowman off, saying, "Well, how about you walk and chew gum at the same time and tell us if you think he should run again or not."

Bowman responded that the two most important things Democrats need to focus on are keeping control of the House and winning multiple seats in the Senate.
"Once we do that," Bowman said, "we show our strength as a party which will make [Biden] stronger and help us as we enter 2024."

Others on the panel pushed Bowman to say whether he "was ready to get behind" Biden for reelection "right now."
"Yes, if the president is running for office, if he is running, I will support him," Bowman said, adding that Democratic victories in Congress were more important right now to show Americans that Democrats are "fighting for them."
