Joe Biden to Run for 2024 Presidential Election

U.S. President Joe Biden and representatives from his close circle have reassured supporters in recent days about the 79-year-old leader's plans to run for a second term in 2024, according to the Washington Post.

As the newspaper clarifies, efforts are being made to convince supporters of the head of state’s desire to remain in the White House for another term, as many Democrats speculate that Biden may not participate when he is already 81 years old.

Another aspect is related to Biden's declining approval ratings. “The only thing I've heard from him is that he intends to run again. And I’m happy about that,” said Biden's friend and former Democratic Senator Chris Dodd.

However, the newspaper notes that such reassurances have not quelled discussions among Democrats about whether Biden's name will appear on the ballots in 2024. This conclusion was drawn by the Washington Post based on conversations with 28 Democratic Party strategists and officials.

For example, some of them are skeptical about the president’s and his aides’ statements, believing that regardless of their actual plans, it is beneficial for them to talk about re-election in order to prevent any weakening of Biden’s position.

It is expected that Biden will officially announce his decision to run for president after the midterm elections in Congress, which will take place in November 2022.
