President Joe Biden launches 2024 re-election campaign

US President Joe Biden has announced he will run for re-election in 2024, setting the stage for a potential rematch with Donald Trump, El.k cites BBC.

The Democrat had been expected to seek a second four-year term and launched his campaign in a video on Tuesday.

He said it was a pivotal moment with freedoms and rights under threat. "This is not a time to be complacent," he said. "That's why I'm running".

Vice-President Kamala Harris, 58, will once again be his running mate.

Mr Biden, 80, is already the oldest president in US history and is likely to face questions over his age throughout the campaign. He would be 86 after finishing a second full term in 2029.
