The US president may announce his re-election campaign in April

Meanwhile, everything indicates that the Democratic leader’s team – who will be 82 if he wins the January 2025 inauguration – is looking for the most suitable person to lead the eventual campaign.

To do this, they have already prepared a list of seasoned strategists, among whom is emerging as the leading candidate at the moment, Jane Reeder, who served as national director of states for the Biden campaign in 2020 and managed to muster a record number of votes for them. Elections, said the newspaper, which specializes in political issues and Congress.

Another potential candidate for the position is Sam Cornell, executive director of the Democratic National Committee.

Biden is also said to be considering Emma Brown, who managed Sen. Mark Kelly’s successful re-election bid in Arizona last year, and Adisso Demissi, who led Sen. Cory Booker’s 2020 presidential bid.

In addition, there is talk of Quentin Foulkes, who led the campaign of Sen. Raphael Warnock of Georgia, and Julie Chavez Rodriguez, a White House adviser who has been Biden’s deputy director for more than two years.

The current occupant of the Oval Office was able to announce his decision, first saying it would be January, then rumors pointing to a close date for his State of the Union address which was in February, but soon after he warned him not to. “I wasn’t ready” and now the fourth month of the year may be the defining moment.

The ruler, who turned 80 on November 20, has become the longest-serving president in the country’s history, and this is one of the topics that has fueled speculation about his political future.

On the Republican side, former President Donald Trump (2017-2021) launched his campaign in November and his ambassador to the United Nations, Nikki Haley, did so recently, while Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis is expected to publish their claims soon.

For some analysts, the likely duel in 2024 will be the Biden-Trump duel, although many polls show that voters prefer other names on the ballot they will deposit in the polls.
