WASHINGTON – President Joe Biden indicated Friday that he’ll certainly be saying a 2024 bid for a second time period — solely not straight away.
Speculation has been mounting over Biden’s plans. At 80, he’s the oldest particular person ever within the US presidency and whereas he has repeatedly stated he intends to run once more, he has but to commit.
In an interview with ABC News’ David Muir, he stated “my intention is…, has been from the beginning, to run.”
Asked about an earlier interview Friday through which his spouse First Lady Jill Biden informed the Associated Press that the time and place of a marketing campaign announcement was all that remained to determine, Biden quipped: “As my mother would say, ‘God love her.'”
However, he indicated that he’s in no hurry.
“There’s too many other things we have to finish in the near term before I start a campaign,” he stated. “I’ve got other things to finish before I get into a full-blown campaign.”
Asked by ABC whether or not his age is a part of his calculation on whether or not or to not run, Biden stated: “No. But it’s legitimate for people to raise issues about my age. It’s totally legitimate to do that.”
“The only thing I can say is ‘watch me,'” he added, referring to his document in workplace.
Biden can be 86 on the finish of a second time period. Earlier this month, an in depth medical take a look at discovered him to be “healthy, vigorous” and “fit to successfully execute the duties of the president.” —Agence France-Presse
