He announced this during his speech at the White House.

It is noted that the American leader was asked by one of the journalists why he should be the Democratic candidate for the highest government post in the United States.

“Because I am the most qualified person in this country to be president and finish the job I started,” Biden responded.

He also expressed outrage at claims of problems with his memory.

Earlier, Biden said that he spoke with German Chancellor Helmut Kohl, who died in 2017, and with French President Francois Mitterrand, who died in 1996.
