Joe Biden, the current president of the US, has declared his intention to compete for re-election in 2024.
This is in line with his Tuesday morning remarks in his new 2024 Launch video that the “battle for the soul of the nation isn’t yet complete.”
On April 25, 2019, four years after announcing his intention to run for president of the United States for the first time, Biden declared his intention to run again.
The US president, announcing the launch of his campaign for his re-election, wrote on his verified Twitter page: “Every generation has a moment where they have had to stand up for democracy. To stand up for their fundamental freedoms. I believe this is ours.
“That’s why I’m running for reelection as President of the United States. Join us. Let’s finish the job.”
He tagged his campaign: “Let’s finish the job.”
Biden has no clear adversary from inside the Democratic Party despite a string of significant legislative victories and significant foreign policy setbacks in his first two years in office.
But he can expect to be the subject of persistent and intense criticism regarding his age in a campaign that could lead to a rerun of the 2020 race against Donald Trump.
By the end of a second term, the seasoned Democrat would be 86 years old. Even though a medical examination in February determined that he was “fit” to carry out the duties of the presidency, many people, even those in his own support base, think he is too elderly.
According to a weekend NBC News poll, 70% of Americans, including 51% of Democrats, think he shouldn’t run for office.
Sixty-nine percent of respondents who felt he shouldn’t run did so for significant or minor reasons related to his age.
When asked about these worries, Biden frequently responds, “Watch me,” implying that voters should pay attention to his domestic policy victories and his mobilisation of a historic Western coalition to assist Ukraine in defending itself against Russia’s invasion.
While Republicans are only beginning a chaotic primary season, Biden will have all the benefits of incumbency and the support of a united party over the course of the next 18 months.
Trump is by far the Republican front-runner despite being the first sitting or past president to be criminally indicted and facing inquiries into his attempt to reverse his loss to Biden in the 2020 election.
On Monday, Trump was ready to add his own critique on the opponent from his previous campaign.
“With such a calamitous and failed presidency, it is almost inconceivable that Biden would even think of running for reelection,” he said in a statement.
Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, who is 44 years old and the most likely Republican opponent for 76-year-old Trump, portrays a same right-wing image.
