U.S. President Joe Biden plans to run for another term in office, he announced on Twitter on Tuesday.
“Every generation has a moment where they have had to stand up for democracy.
“To stand up for their fundamental freedoms. I believe this is ours,” Biden tweeted.
“That’s why I’m running for reelection as president of the United States. Join us. Let’s finish the job.”
The tweet came with a three-minute video clip launching his campaign for re-election in 2024.
Biden won the 2020 presidential election against then Republican incumbent Donald Trump.
Biden has been in office since January 2021; he moved into the White House as the oldest president ever.
Biden will be 81 years old at the time of the election in about one and a half years.
At the end of a possible second term, he would be 86.
