US President Joe Biden wants to be the Democrats’ candidate in 2024, officially announcing his reelection bid. “When I ran for president 4 years ago, I said we’re in a battle for the soul of America, and we still are … Let’s finish this job. I know we can”, Biden said in a video released last night. It means there could be a rematch against Donald Trump, who is leading in the polls for the Republican nomination. As for the Democrats’ race, Biden’s not the only one with his hand up… Environmental lawyer/anti-vaccine activist Robert F Kennedy Jr (aka the son of Bobby) and self-help author Marianne Williamson say they want a go. It would be unusual for a sitting president to lose their party’s endorsement, but Biden’s already the oldest leader in America’s history, and some have concerns about his capacity to serve another 4 years in the White House.
