U.S. President Joe Biden has revealed his intention to run for a second term in the 2024 elections.
Mr Biden commented about running again for president during an interview with MSNBC with Jonathan Capehart on Friday.
“I have not made that formal decision, but it’s my intention, my intention to run again, and we have time to make that decision,” Mr Biden said.
In June, White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre had said Mr Biden would be running for reelection in 2024.
“The president, as you know, has been asked that question many times, and he has answered it,” Ms Jean-Pierre said. “His answer has been pretty simple, which is, yes, he’s running for reelection. I can’t say more than that.”
Mr Biden is the oldest president in America’s history, as he will turn 80 next month. If he were to be re-elected in 2024, he would be 86 by the end of his second term.
In a poll published earlier this month by Issues & Insights/TIPP, two-thirds of Americans have said they are at least “somewhat concerned” about Mr Biden’s mental health after he tried and failed to recognise an Indiana congresswoman who died earlier this year.
