Joe Biden has declared he will run for president again in 2024, putting to bed any speculation that the octogenarian would become a self-imposed one-term president. The President, 80, asked voters to give him more time to “finish the job”.
The announcement comes four years to the day after he declared he would run against Donald Trump in 2019 ahead of the 2020 election.
“Freedom. Personal freedom is fundamental to who we are as Americans. There’s nothing more important. Nothing more sacred,” Biden said in the launch video, which painted the Republican Party as extremists trying to roll back access to abortion, cut Social Security, limit voting rights and ban books they disagree with. “Around the country, MAGA extremists are lining up to take those bedrock freedoms away.”
However, Biden faces low approval ratings among the electorate and not just among Republicans.
A new NBC News Poll shows that 70 percent of Americans don’t want him to run again, including 51 percent of Democrats.
Still, Biden has framed the re-election bid much in the same ways as his 2020 campaign - a fight against Trump's MAGA politics which has dominated large swathes of the Republican Party.
“I said we are in a battle for the soul of America, and we still are,” Biden said. “The question we are facing is whether in the years ahead we have more freedom or less freedom. More rights or fewer.”
While the question of seeking re-election has been a given for most modern presidents, that’s not always been the case for Biden, as a notable number of Democratic voters have indicated they would prefer he not run, in part because of his age. Biden has called these concerns “totally legitimate” but ones he did not address head-on in the launch video.
“This is not a time to be complacent,” Biden added. “That’s why I’m running for re-election.”
