Joe Biden, the current president of the United States, announced his intention to run for re-election early on Tuesday. The man oeuvre might have set him up for another confrontation with front-runner Donald Trump of the Republican Party.
As in 2019, Biden announced his fresh campaign with a video clip. He requested additional time from American voters in the three-minute clip so that he could “finish the job.”
Following the turbulent Trump years, Biden made a call to unify the country and mend divisions as part of his appeal in the 2020 election. That hasn’t happened yet, and the vast divisions in American society are evident in Biden’s campaign film.
As I said, “I said we are in a battle for the soul of America, and we still are,” Biden stated. “We must decide whether to have more freedom or less freedom in the next years. Either more or less rights. In his film, he painted the Republicans as extremists who had restricted voting rights, reduced social security benefits, eliminated abortion rights, and started a campaign of book banning.
“Freedom,” continued Biden. The essential tenet of the American way of life is individual liberty. Nothing is more critical. There is nothing more holy, remarked Biden. “Across the country, MAGA extremists are lining up to curtail these basic privileges.”
Biden is currently America’s oldest president, according to the AP News agency. Figured out that at the end of a second term, should he win, Biden would be 86 years old.
Many in his own Democratic Party camp are disappointed by that possibility and would much rather support a more youthful, energetic, and diverse candidate. But according to the AP, Biden won’t have much trouble winning his party’s candidature. There aren’t many other viable possibilities, and Biden is likely to get support from Democrats who are mostly united in their opposition to granting Trump a second term. (Trump will start serving as president in January 2025 at the age of 78; he is now 76.)
The sole non-elected official among the seven people selected as national co-chairs of Biden’s campaign team was veteran Hollywood executive Jeffrey Katzenberg.
