According to his own statements, US President Joe Biden is planning a new application for the presidential election next year – but does not want to announce it yet and has not yet disclosed any details. “It was my intention from the start,” said the 80-year-old when asked if he would run again. “But I have other things to do before I can fully campaign.”
His wife Jill Biden had previously told the Associated Press news agency that only the time and place for announcing a new presidential bid needed to be determined.
Biden’s age worries many voters
There are conflicting views on Biden’s chances of rejoining. Since taking office in January 2021, the president has achieved a number of successes, including in the fight against the corona pandemic, in economic policy, infrastructure and climate protection. However, many voters see his advanced age as a major problem.
Already the oldest president in American history
Biden is already the oldest president in US history and would turn 86 at the end of a possible second term. Asked by ABC reporter David Muir if his age played a role in his decision to run again, he said on TV’s ABC World News Tonight, “No. But it’s legitimate for people to think about my age.”
Ex-President Donald Trump and former US Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley have so far run for the Republicans’ presidential candidacy. In addition, bestselling author Marianne Williamson is likely to be nominated (recently).
