According to multiple US news outlets, US President Joe Biden may announce his reelection run for 2024 as soon as next week.
The president’s advisers are considering opening the campaign as early as Tuesday, April 25, with a video reelection speech and fundraising drive. However, according to Politico, the preparations are not yet finalised and the date may change.
According to Politico, Biden’s announcement will be timed to coincide with the four-year anniversary of his successful presidential campaign.
Biden, the oldest president in history, has long indicated his desire to run for re-election.
According to reports, Biden is making the announcement sooner today in order to begin fundraising for an expensive campaign and to put an end to the ongoing speculation about Biden’s 2024 plans.
Making the announcement in a low-key video message with a fundraising appeal would be similar to how the Obama-Biden ticket announced its run in 2011, according to the report.
Biden does not anticipate a significant primary challenge, while some Democrats have expressed reservations about his age. If he is re-elected, Biden will be 82 years old when he takes the oath of office for the second time. When he leaves the White House, he will be 86 years old.
High inflation, a fragile economy, and Biden’s mediocre approval ratings are all problems that voters may hold against him, especially if Donald Trump wins the Republican presidential nomination.
