President Joe Biden launches 2024 re-election campaign

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

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

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 about his age throughout the campaign. He would be 86 after finishing a second full term in 2029.

Mr Biden faced off against Mr Trump in 2020, defeating the Republican.
