Biden plans to make a decision about running again in early 2023

US President Joe Biden is expected to decide early next year whether he will run again in 2024. "I think we're going to make a judgment early next year," the Democrat said at the White House on Wednesday. He has the "intent" to run again in the presidential election.

Ultimately, this is a family decision. “I think everyone wants me to run, but we will discuss it.” He is in no hurry and will not make a decision dependent on what his predecessor is doing, he said, referring to former Republican President Donald Trump.

Biden has repeatedly said in the past that he wants to run again for the highest office in the state. The 79-year-old had also made it clear that such a decision would depend on his health, among other things.

Trump announced on Monday that he wanted to make a big announcement on November 15th. It is understood that he will then announce his candidacy for the 2024 election. In the US midterm elections, overwhelming victories for the Republicans were expected, which ultimately did not materialize. It was unclear what that could mean for Trump's possible plans.

Biden called the midterm elections a good day for democracy. This had been challenged, but the American people had spoken, Biden told journalists in the White House on Wednesday. Not all results are known yet, Biden explained. But the "red wave" expected by many, i.e. a march through by the Republicans, "that didn't happen."

However, the Republicans made slight gains in the midterm elections and are likely to take control of the House of Representatives. But control of the Senate depends on results in three states that are particularly competitive.

In his speech, Biden approached his political opponent. "I am ready to work with the Republicans." This applies regardless of how the congressional election ends. "I think the American people have made it clear that they expect Republicans to be willing to work with me, too," he said.

But Biden said he would veto a national abortion ban and oppose tax cuts for the wealthy. These are two policy proposals that Republicans could potentially move forward. After the G20 summit, he will invite leading representatives from Democrats and Republicans to the White House to discuss how to cooperate, the US President said.
