Biden intends to run for reelection in 2024, Psaki says

US President Joe Biden intends to run for reelection in 2024, White House press secretary Jen Psaki confirmed, following a flurry of reports on discussions among Democrats about whether he would follow through on a bid for a second term, reported from The Hill.

"That’s his intention,” Psaki told reporters, confirming reports that Biden has been telling advisers and staff he plans to run again in 2024.

The Washington Post reported over the weekend that Biden and his closest advisers have been reassuring allies in recent days that he plans to seek a second term.

While Biden’s plans for 2024 could change over the next two years, sources close to the president have maintained since he took office in January that he would campaign for a second term.

Biden would be 82 at the start of his second term, if reelected. He was already the oldest individual to be inaugurated when he was sworn in in January.
