Joe Biden Confirms Plan to Run for Re-Election in 2024

President Joe Biden has confirmed that he plans to run for re-election in 2024, but his office has not made an official announcement yet. Biden, who became the oldest person to win the presidency in 2020 at the age of 78, let the news slip during a chat with Al Roker at the annual White House Easter egg roll. The field for the Democratic nomination has remained mostly empty as potential challengers appeared to wait and see whether Biden would officially run in 2024. On the Republican side, former President Donald Trump announced in November 2022 that he is running again in 2024, while Nikki Haley, a former ambassador to the United Nations in the Trump administration, announced in February that she is also seeking the Republican presidential nomination.
