Why is Biden announcing 2024 bid now, and what will change?

Joe Biden, as the oldest president in US history, has noted age is a ‘legitimate’ concern but scoffed at questions about whether he has the stamina for four more years in the White House, writes Will Weissert
Why is Biden announcing 2024 bid now, and what will change?

President Joe Biden has frequently denounced 'extreme' Republicans loyal to Trump’s 'Make America Great Again' movement as posing a threat to America’s core democracy. It’s a message he will continue to champion as the 2024 race heats up.

Joe Biden has formally announced he’s seeking re-election even though he still has roughly 20 months left in his presidential term.

With Tuesday’s campaign video release, Biden is following through on months of saying he intended to seek re-election. Top Democrats have remained solidly unified behind the president, despite his low approval ratings and many Americans saying they’d rather not see the 80-year-old Biden try for four more years in the White House.
