Probably a stupid question, but does Biden need to be nominated to run for another election? Or as the President or leader of the Democrats can he just say, I'm running and that's that?
Only once, has a party not nominated a sitting president, in 1852, and that was democrat Franklin Pierce who failed to receive his party's nomination.
So it's highly unlikely to happen now. But who knows?

Cheers, tried looking it up and the answer was so convoluted it was tough to get straight. So at this point, it's still up to the party to determine whether he proceeds.

And, if you believe the mainstream press and media, there's frantic "behind-the-scenes" shit going on as we speak.
How much anyone wanna bet there's a bag of cocaine in the White house right now?

Yes, in order to represent the D or R party one must receive their party's nomination. And there's no legal obligation to nominate a sitting president.
That said, one has to consider how much of a campaign advantage a sitting POTUS has before going with someone else. The optics of AF1 or their motorcade are things campaign contributions can't buy.

Biden has won his party's primary elections. Those delegates are pledged. There is no mechanism for anyone else unless "they" want to smother him with a pillow. Apparently, it's open season on your political opponents now because...democracy.

Gotta love that word.
Today's left-wing democrat party is basically run by elitists making concessions to the working class to bribe and pacify them.
