US President Joe Biden says he plans to run in the 2024 election as the Democratic candidate, but is not yet ready to make an official announcement.
“I plan on running … but we’re not prepared to announce it yet,” Mr Biden said in an interview with NBC’s Today show, before the White House Easter Egg Roll.
The 80-year-old Mr Biden and US Vice-President Kamala Harris have said they will run together.
Top White House advisers are set to make final decisions on launching Mr Biden’s re-election campaign, NBC News reported, citing several unidentified sources.
“The decision part is over, but he resents the pressure to have to announce what he’s already decided,” one source familiar with the matter told NBC.
More to come.
