Joe Biden, the current president of the US, has declared his intention to compete for reelection 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.

Every generation has a time when they have got to stand up for democracy, the US president tweeted on his verified Twitter handle as he announced the beginning of his re-election campaign. to defend their fundamental rights. I think we own this.

I’m running for reelection as president of the United States because of this. Rejoin us. Let’s complete the task.

His campaign’s tagline was “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 he passed a medical exam in February and was deemed “fit” to carry out the duties of the presidency, many people, even those in his own support base, do not agree.

An NBC News poll released over the weekend found that 70 per cent of Americans, including 51 per cent of Democrats, believe he should not run.

Sixty-nine per cent of all respondents who said he shouldn’t run cited concerns over his age as a major or minor reason.

When asked about these worries, Biden often responds, “Watch me,” implying that voters should pay attention to his domestic policy victories and his mobilization of a previously unheard-of Western alliance to support Ukraine’s defense against a Russian 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.

It is nearly incomprehensible that Biden would even consider running for reelection after such a disastrous and unsuccessful presidency, he stated 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.
