Joe Biden tells ‘everyone’ he wants to be presidential candidate in 2024

According to information from the American media “The Hill”, President Joe Biden has told several people, including Barack Obama, his desire to be a candidate for re-election in November 2024.

Will Joe Biden be a candidate for a new term in two years? According to The Hillan American media specializing in the political and institutional life of the United States, the current tenant of the White House told Barack Obama of his desire to run for a second term in 2024.

The online outlet cites two unnamed sources, one of which says Joe Biden “wants to be a candidate and he’s letting everyone know that.” The Hill explains above all that Biden now considers himself in the best position to beat Donald Trump.

At the end of March, the American president estimated that he would be “very lucky” to face Donald Trump again in the presidential election in 2024. In the 2020 presidential election, Joe Biden was elected president by bringing together 306 major voters, against 232 for Donald Trump. The Democrat had obtained just over 81 million votes, against 74 million for the Republican.

If he is a candidate again in 2024 and is re-elected, Joe Biden will finish his second term in 2029 at the age of 86.

A balance sheet that is not unanimous

In 2020, the day after Biden’s victory, the race for his succession was already launched within the Democratic Party. Some American observers then considered Vice President Kamala Harris as a future candidate.

Whatever the Democratic Party’s choice for 2024, the battle against the future representative of the Republican Party will be perilous. According to a survey conducted for CNBC published in mid-April, 38% of Americans approve of Joe Biden’s White House record. And more than one in two Americans (53%) are unhappy with it.
