US President Biden announces re-election bid
President Joe Biden on Tuesday formally launched his campaign for a second term in 2024, asking voters to keep him in office and “finish the job” of a historic American recovery that started after he vanquished Donald Trump in 2020.
Biden’s long-awaited announcement allows him to begin fundraising 18 months out from the November general election.
In a video, the president echoed several familiar themes he outlined when he first took charge of the country during the spiraling Covid-19 pandemic and resulting economic turmoil, taking office days after insurrectionists seized the U.S. Capitol.
“When I ran for president four years ago, I said we are in a battle for the soul of America. And we still are,” he said in the video, titled “Freedom” and filled with images from his visits across the country touting his legislative accomplishments.
“The question we are facing is whether in the years ahead we have more freedom or less freedom. More rights or fewer. I know what I want the answer to be and I think you do, too,” he said.
“This is not a time to be complacent. That’s why I’m running for re-election.”
