Joe Biden ready to launch hostilities? The President of the United States could officially announce his candidacy for a new term next Tuesday, according to several American media including the Washington Post. It has been several months since the Democratic leader no longer hides his desire to run again in 2024, but no official date has yet been announced.
According to the American daily, which cites several anonymous sources, Joe Biden’s entourage would have chosen the date of next Tuesday to publish his candidacy announcement video because it coincides with that of the launch of his campaign for the last election four years ago. years.
The persons quoted recall, however, that the date of Tuesday could be postponed. The White House declined to comment on the rumor of an announcement of his candidacy on Tuesday, according to the American daily. US presidential spokeswoman Karine Jean Pierre only recalled the impossibility for government agencies to discuss Joe Biden’s campaign.
Towards a new duel with Donald Trump?
The age of the man who was Barack Obama’s vice-president before being elected to lead the country in 2020 is debated in the United States. If elected for a second term, Joe Biden would be 86 years old in 2028 at the end of this one, more than any other president in American history.
The identity of the one who will face him is also talking across the Atlantic, while his 2020 opponent, Donald Trump, is mired in several legal cases. The billionaire and ex-president, notably suspected of having bribed several people, including a pornographic film actress, before his election in 2016, was charged at the end of March and heard by a Manhattan judge with whom he pleaded not guilty.
The Washington Post recalls that Joe Biden is also facing justice, since several confidential documents dating from his term as vice president were found in one of his former offices and one of his private residences. A 1978 law obliges American presidents and vice-presidents to send all their e-mails, letters and other working documents to the National Archives.
