The president of the United States, Joe Biden, hinted again this Thursday that he will stand for re-election in 2024, but without giving a date for the official launch of the campaign.
To a question from a reporter about when he will announce that he is running, Biden replied: “When I announce it.” He said it in a corridor of Congress, where he was meeting with senators from the Democratic Party.
The 80-year-old leader and his entourage have made it clear that, Except for big surprises the doubt It is no longer whether he will present himself again but When will you announce your candidacy?
It could be in April. Both former Democratic presidents Barack Obama and Bill Clinton announced it that month, while Republican George W. Bush opted for May.
Biden trusts his economic and social balance to win voters. And also in his differences with his predecessor, the former Republican president donald trump, who already competing for the nomination for 2024.
Biden is also likely to take into account the fact that most American presidents run for second terms and, in most cases, are successful. But his advancing age remains a major concern of the electorate.
Biden, who according to his last medical check-up is in good health, is already the oldest president in history.
