US President Joe Bidenannounced this Tuesday that he will present himself to re-election in the 2024 elections.
“When I ran for election to be president Four years ago I said that we are in a battle for the soul of America. And we still are”said the president in a video entitled “Freedom” in which he confirmed that he will again run for the Presidency of the country.

Besides, the Democrat warned of “MAGA extremists” – in reference to Trump’s campaign slogan, “Make America Great Again” (Make America Great Again) -, the expression he usually uses to refer to the Republican legislators most aligned with the controversial conservative ex-president.
“They are preparing to eliminate those fundamental freedoms, reducing Social Security that you have paid all your life while they reduce taxes for the rich. Dictating the medical decisions women can make, banning books and telling people who they can love,” Biden said in her message.
The president, who at 80 is the oldest president in the history of the United States, had been saying for months that he intends to run for re-election.
