Biden’s expected pitch is to “finish the job” after a first term that included several legislative wins, federal funds to tackle the COVID-19 pandemic and for new infrastructure.
US President Joe Biden said on Friday he has decided to run for a second term and would formally announce his re-election campaign “relatively soon.”
“We’ll announce it relatively soon. But the trip here just reinforced my sense of optimism about what can be done,” Biden told reporters at the tail-end of an emotional trip to Ireland. “I told you my plan is to run again.”
Biden has long said he intended to run for re-election but the lack of a formal announcement has sometimes given jitters to supporters unsure if the 80-year-old Democrat, one of the oldest world leaders, would really commit to another four-year term.
