No final decision made regarding the 2024 presidential campaign: Biden
New Delhi: US President Joe Biden says he intends to ballot for the presidency in 2024, but it is too early to make a “firm decision” on that.
“Look, my intention, as I said, to begin with, is that I would run again. But it’s just an intention. But is it a firm decision that I run again? That remains to be seen,” Biden said in an interview with the media on Sunday.
He claimed that it is too early to make a such decision now.
“I am a great respecter of fate. And so, what I am doing is I am doing my job. I am gonna do that job,” Biden noted. He made it clear that, in his opinion, it is better to decide whether to run or not after the mid-term Congress elections in November this year.
When the CBS reporter noted that Biden will turn 80 this year, which makes him the oldest president in US history, Biden stated his certainty that he has enough energy and that his mind is clear.
He claimed that there are no “things I don’t do now that I did before, whether it’s physical, or mental, or anything else.”.
According to Article II of the U.S. Constitution, the president must be a natural-born citizen of the United States, be at least 35 years old, and have been a resident of the United States for 14 years.
