THE Joe Biden he said on Good Friday that he has decided to run for the 2024 presidential election and “relatively soon” he is expected to make official announcements.
“I have done my calculations. We will announce it relatively soon. But the trip here has strengthened my optimism about what can be done.”Mr. Biden told reporters at the end of his visit to Ireland. “I told you that my plan was to be a candidate”he added.
Mr. Biden has long said he “intended” to run, but his failure to officially announce it has created uncertainty among his supporters.
However, in the background, his associates and allies had already begun to take steps to set up a campaign apparatus and raise funds ahead of the 2024 electionsin which it is possible that he will find himself an opponent again with the former president Donald Trumpwho has already started his campaign.
Mr. Biden is expected to send a message that he wants to “finish the job” after his first term in office during which he scored some victories in Congress, including securing billions of dollars for the response to the coronavirus pandemic and for new infrastructure.
However, Joe Biden’s age means that his attempt to be elected will be a historic and risky venture both for him and for the Democratic party, which has a difficult task ahead of it, wants to maintain control of the Senate and regain it of the House of Representatives.
The president’s approval rating remains stuck around 40%. He would be 86 at the end of his potential second term, nine years older than the average male life expectancy in USA.
Mr. Biden, who does not drink alcohol and exercises five times a week, is in “good” health, “thriving” and fully “fit” to perform his duties, an opinion written by a White House physician in February said.
