Joe Biden has confirmed he plans to run for re-election after months of speculation - but will not formally announce his candidacy yet
Mr Biden and Vice-President Kamala Harris seem to have made a decision over running again following months of speculation over whether the President's age will prevent him from seeking a second term.
Speaking to NBC at the annual Easter event, the President said: "I plan on running ... but we're not prepared to announce it yet". The answer is the closest that Mr Biden has come to formally announcing his candidacy - with some speculating that a primary challenge could emerge from within the Democratic party.
The speculation comes months after Donald Trump formally announced his intention to seek a second term as President after he was soundly defeated by Mr Biden in 2020.Picture:
