Biden announces his intention to run for re-election in 2024
US President Joe Biden announced that he intends to run for another presidential term in 2024, but confirmed that he has not made an official decision to do so yet.
When asked about this issue on MSNBC, the Democratic president said: "I have not made the decision officially yet, but I intend to run again and we have time to make this decision."
When asked if his wife, Jill Biden, supports him running for president again, Biden indicated that she supports the idea.
Biden will celebrate his 80th birthday on November 20, and he will be eighty-two at the start of his second term if he runs and wins it.
Biden and his party are preparing for the November 8 midterm elections, a traditionally tough test for any incumbent president.
Biden predicted a shift in the Democrats' favour at the end of the midterm campaign, thanks to an improving economic situation.
"There's been a lot of wiggling, they're ahead, we're ahead, and the polls have varied so much, I think we'll see another swing in our favor in recent days," Biden told reporters at the White House.
