US President Joe Biden is 80 years old now. He is now the oldest president of the United States. At this age, many have expressed doubts whether he will contest for his second term. However, wife Jill Biden confirmed on Tuesday that Biden plans to run for president in 2024.
There are thousands of questions about whether his body will be able to withstand the pressure of the election campaign, whether the voters will want such an old man as their president and whether he will be physically able to run the government for another four years if he wins the election.
When Jill Biden was asked about this by CNN, she said, "Of course, I believe, Biden has plans to run for his second term."
Meanwhile, Biden has not yet made any official announcement on this matter. However, he has been heard saying several times before that he does not want to be in any hurry to announce his candidacy for the next election. He also made it clear that they intend to compete.
News agency Reuters reported that Biden is already discussing with some of his close political advisers about competing in the 2024 election. However, it is not clear when the official announcement will be made.
At a White House event in November last year, Biden said he would decide whether to run for office in early 2023. But two months of 2023 are about to end. Biden's announcement is yet to come.
Meanwhile, polls about the next presidential election have also shown concern among voters about Biden's age. Because, at the end of the second term, Biden will be 86 years old.
Forty-six percent of respondents to a Reuters poll earlier this month thought Biden was too old to run the government. Also, according to 71 percent of participants, Biden should not compete in the next election.
