Biden teases imminent 2024 announcement: 'relatively soon'

President Joe Biden on Friday indicated he would make an official announcement about his plans for reelection in 2024 "relatively soon."

Biden indicated that he had already decided on whether or not to seek reelection and that he had yet to merely make the official declaration, The Hill reported.

"I’ve already made that calculus. We’ll announce it relatively soon," he said. "But the trip here just reinforced my sense of optimism about what can be done,” Biden told reporters before departing Ireland for the United States. I told you my plan is to run again."

Biden's job approval currently stands at 44.0 in the RealClearPolitics polling average.

His comments are far from a surprise as he has long maintained his plans to seek reelection. He will, however, face primary challengers in the forms of spiritual guru Marianne Williamson and Robert F. Kennedy Jr., both of whom have already made formal announcements of their candidacies.
