“President Joe Biden is preparing to launch his re-election bid in the months after November’s midterm congressional elections, setting up a potential 2024 re-match with former President Donald Trump.” Bloomberg reports.
“Biden’s resolve to mount a second White House bid is hardening even with polls showing most Democrats would prefer a candidate other than the 79-year-old president. But those close to Biden describe him as buoyed by recent legislative, economic and foreign policy victories and committed to again deny Trump a return to the Oval Office.”
“Allies say Biden’s determination has grown amid revelations about Trump and his role in the Jan. 6, 2021 insurrection, as well as the former president’s continued embrace by Republicans.”
