President Joe Biden is reportedly preparing for a second run at the White House in 2024, in spite of objections from his own party. It is thought that Democrat voters are hoping for a younger candidate, as according to a CNBC poll conducted in December, 57 percent do not want President Biden to run again.
The 46th President turns 82 on November 20 2024, just a few weeks after the US presidential election.
The Democrats faired better than expected in the November midterms, with President Biden believing he is the best candidate to attract independent voters and industry workers, according to The Telegraph.
A former member of his staff told the newspaper: “His vanity and self-aggrandisement mean he can’t process the idea that he’s not doing a great job.”
His announcement is expected to come during the annual State of the Union address in Congress, thought to be in February.
Donald Trump recently declared that he would seek the Republican nomination for 2024, which is thought to have encouraged the current POTUS even more.
Him and his wife Jill began meeting with advisers to discuss strategy as early as September.
A former Biden staff member said: “The media generally overstate how Bidenworld is this huge world of people.”

From January, the Republicans will have a narrow majority in Congress, making it extremely difficult for the Democrat President to pass any legislation.
This would give him better opportunities to campaign, with his team planning to have him travel the country promoting the legislation that he has passed.
In the 2024 campaign he will again tell voters that inflation is a global issue and he will continue to call Republicans “extreme” and the “UltraMAGA party”.
