The US President, Joe Biden, on Tuesday said he would seek a second term, setting the stage for a potential rematch with his predecessor, Donald Trump.<\/p>\n
In a video released on Tuesday, 80-year-old Biden described next year\u2019s contest as a fight against the Republican extremism and indicated that he needed more time to fully realise his vow to restore the nation\u2019s character.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis is not a time to be complacent. That\u2019s why I\u2019m running for reelection,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Biden enters the 2024 race with a significant legislative record but low approval ratings.<\/p>\n
No major Democratic challengers are expected to emerge. Only two candidates are currently in the race: self-help guru Marianne Williamson and anti-vaccine and environmental activist Robert F. Kennedy Jr.<\/p>\n
On the Republican side, the race has so far been dominated by Trump, who has launched his third bid for the White House.<\/p>\n
In January, Trump publicly declared his presidential bid for 2024 in New Hampshire and South Carolina.<\/p>\n
\u201cTogether we will complete the unfinished business of making America great again,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
