Joe Biden, 80-year-old United States President has officially announced his desire to run for re-election as president of the US in 2024.
Biden’s Tuesday announcement coincided with the fourth anniversary of his first successful presidential bid, launched on April 25, 2019.
President Biden wrote on his verified Twitter page: “Every generation has a moment where they have had to stand up for democracy. To stand up for their fundamental freedoms. I believe this is ours.
“That’s why I’m running for reelection as President of the United States. Join us. Let’s finish the job.”
He tagged his campaign: “Let’s finish the job.” Biden, a democrat will be 86 by the end of his second term if re-elected as president. But in a campaign that may result in a rematch of the 2020 election against Donald Trump, he is expected to face constant and fierce scrutiny over his age.
Expectedly, a medical exam in February might found him “fit” to execute the duties of the presidency, many including in his own voter base believe he is too old.
His winning his party’s nomination, with no serious Democratic rivals, seems certain.
