‘I told you my plan is to run again’ - US president Joe Biden will announce re-election plans ‘soon’
This means that the US presidential election in 2024 could be a replay of the 2020 contest between Mr Biden and former president Donald Trump.
Mr Trump is considered the front-runner to secure the nomination to be the candidate of the Republican Party in 2024. This is despite having been charged by authorities in New York with 34 felony counts of falsifying business records related to his alleged role in hush money payments toward the end of his 2016 presidential campaign.
An announcement by Mr Biden that he would be seeking a second term in the White House would not be considered a surprise.Behind the scenes associates are understood to have been putting in place the backbone of campaign and fundraising infrastructure should the president decide to seek another term in office.
If he opts to run again, Mr Biden would be the overwhelming favourite to secure the nomination of the Democratic Party.The president turned 80 last November and would be 86 at the end of any second term. Earlier this month Robert Kennedy, an anti-vaccine activist and environmental lawyer who is the nephew of former president John F Kennedy and son of assassinated presidential candidate Robert Kennedy, said he was running for the White House.
