NEW DELHI, Apr 10: The United States president Joe Biden said on Monday that he has taken a decision to run for re-election in 2024 but was not prepared to announce the move as yet.
“I plan on running … but we’re not prepared to announce it yet,” Biden said in a television interview. Biden has said he intended to be the Democratic candidate in 2024 but has not made a formal announcement. Both Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris have said they would run together.
Top White House advisers are set to make final decisions on launching Biden’s re-election campaign, media reports said. “The decision part is over, but he resents the pressure to have to announce what he’s already decided,” some White House sources said.
