WASHINGTON – President Joe Biden says he intends to seek re-election in 2024 amid growing concerns about his age, but will withhold a formal announcement because campaigning and fundraising rules change if he becomes an actual candidate.
"Once I make that judgment, a whole series of regulations kick in and ... I treat myself as a candidate from that moment on," Biden said in an interview broadcast Sunday and Friday with MSNBC host Jonathan Capehart.
Biden also said "I have not made that formal decision" about the 2024 campaign, but "it's my intention – my intention to run again. And we have time to make that decision.”
Capehart later asked Biden to speak with his Aunt Gloria, a frequent guest on the program. The president said if she and other voters have concerns about his age, the best response is "to watch me ... am I slowing up?"
