Biden, 80, previously said it was his “intention” to seek another term in 2024. He went a bit beyond that in a “Today” show interview.
President Biden edged closer Monday to announcing a 2024 reelection bid, saying in a television interview that he plans to run again.
“I plan on running, Al, but we’re not prepared to announce it yet,” Biden told Al Roker of NBC’s “Today” show during an interview at the White House ahead of the annual Easter Egg Roll on the South Lawn.
Roker backed into the question of Biden’s plans by asking how many more Easter Egg Rolls Biden plans to oversee.
“At least three or four more,” Biden said, laughing. “Maybe five, maybe six.”
Biden, 80, has said for months that “it’s my intention to run,” and advisers have started taking steps to prepare for an expected announcement on a date to be determined.
