US First Lady: "80-year-old Biden Will Run for Re-election in 2024"

If Re-elected, Would Be the Oldest President in U.S. History
Biden Also Expresses Intention to Run

Jill Biden, wife of U.S. President Joe Biden, announced on the 24th (local time) that President Biden will challenge the next presidential election to be held in 2024, aiming for re-election.

While visiting Kenya, Mrs. Biden said in an interview with reporters in Nairobi that there is "little left to do except decide the time and place of the announcement" regarding President Biden's candidacy for the 2024 presidential election.

Currently 80 years old, President Biden would become the oldest president in history if he succeeds in his re-election bid. He will be 86 years old at the end of his second term.

Some have expressed concerns that he may be too old to complete a second term after turning eighty.

President Biden addressed these concerns in an interview with ABC on the same day. When asked if age was an issue in deciding to run for re-election, he replied, "It is fair for people to raise concerns about my age," and added, "I want to ask people to watch me."

On the Republican side, former President Donald Trump officially declared his candidacy for the next presidential election shortly after the midterm elections in November last year.

President Biden's approval rating has reached its highest point in a year. According to a poll released on the 22nd (local time) by U.S. public broadcasters NPR and PBS, President Biden's approval rating for his administration stood at 46%, the highest since March last year when it was 47%.
