Joe Biden and Kamala Harris Announce 2024 Reelection Bid

HeadlineApr 25, 2023

President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris will run for reelection in 2024. Biden made the official announcement this morning with a three-minute campaign video posted on social media.

President Joe Biden: “Freedom, personal freedom, is fundamental to who we are as Americans. There’s nothing more important, nothing more sacred. That’s been the work of my first term, to fight for our democracy — this shouldn’t be a red or blue issue — to protect our rights, to make sure that everyone in this country is treated equally.”

So far, Biden and Harris face two Democratic primary challengers: self-help author Marianne Williamson, who also ran in 2020, and Robert F. Kennedy Jr., an environmental lawyer, anti-vaccine activist, and son of the former U.S. attorney general and assassinated 1968 presidential candidate. CBS News reports RFK Jr. was convinced to run by Trump’s former campaign manager Steve Bannon, who believes he will be a useful chaos agent in the 2024 race.
