According to sources from The Hill, US President Joe Biden has told former President Barack Obama that he plans to seek re-election in the 2024 presidential election.
“[Biden] he wants to run and is making it clear to everyone,” said one of the sources familiar with the talks between the two politicians.
Likewise, the media interviewee pointed out that despite falling approval ratings, the White House tenant is still the Democratic candidate with the most votes Probability of defeating Donald Trump in a possible confrontation.
“I do not think so [Biden] think there’s someone in the Democratic Party who can beat Trump and that’s the most important factor,” the source said.
During a news conference in Brussels last month, the US president told reporters that he would be “very happy” to face his rival, former President Trump, in the 2020 election.
Although Biden and Obama had lunch together in early April, it’s unclear exactly when they discussed the potential candidacy.
For its part, the White House has yet to comment on the alleged exchange between Democratic leaders.
