US President Joe Biden, who turns 80 in November, said Friday that he “intends” to run for another term in 2024 but has yet to make a formal decision.
Asked about it on the MSNBC channel, the Democrat said that if he did not decide immediately it was because as soon as the announcement was made “a whole series of rules was triggered” and “I will have to behave as a candidate.” .
“I have not formally made the decision yet, but it is my intention. My intention (is) to run again and we have time to make that decision,” she said.

When asked if his wife, Jill Biden, was in favor of his getting back into the race, he implied yes.
“My wife thinks we’re doing something very important and I shouldn’t walk away from it,” he said after a pause.
Joe Biden had already announced his “intention” to run again in September, though he remained noncommittal. The oldest president ever elected in the United States, Joe Biden, will celebrate his 80th birthday on November 20. He would be 82 at the start of a possible second term and 86 at the end.
Midterm elections, next test for Biden
His age regularly fuels speculation about the reality of a new candidacy.
Joe Biden and his party are preparing to pass the test of the midterm parliamentary elections on November 8, traditionally difficult for the incumbent president.
Among the Republican candidates for this election, several are campaigning falsely insisting that the 2020 presidential election won by Joe Biden was “stolen” from his predecessor Donald Trump. The latter is increasingly openly flirting with the idea of representing himself in 2024.
