There has been widespread speculation that Joe Biden and Kamala Harris may not run again for the White House in 2024.
Joe Biden, who is already the oldest person to become president in 2020, will be approaching the age of 82 at the time of the next presidential election in November of 2024. Private text messages from Hunter Biden showed multiple jokes to his therapist about his father suffering from dementia.
Despite these concerns, Biden says he’s running again in 2024. However, this hasn’t prevented other Democrats from throwing their hats in the ring.
Democrat Senator Amy Klobuchar of Minnesota is returning to campaign in New Hampshire, according to Fox News. New Hampshire will be the first state to hold a primary election in the country in the race for the White House.
Ronny Jackson, who is the former White House physician under both Presidents Obama and Trump, has also warned Americans that “something’s seriously wrong with Biden” regarding his mental health.
On the other hand, Kamala Harris is the worst vice president in U.S. history with an approval rating of only 28 percent, according to USA Today. Business Insider confirmed this is the lowest rating for any vice president in history.
A bombshell article from CNN interviewed nearly three dozen current and former staffers for Harris which showed there is significant dysfunction within her team. “Harris is struggling with a rocky relationship with some parts of the White House,” CNN reported about Harris, who once even accused Joe Biden of being racist during the Democratic primary race.
Multiple top aides on Harri’s team have quit, including veteran communications chief Ashley Etienne who previously worked for Obama, Joe Biden, and Nancy Pelosi.
All of the rumors have been finally put to rest as the White House confirms that Biden will seek reelection in 2024 with Kamala Harris as his running mate. During a press briefing, White House Principal Deputy Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre confirmed Biden does indeed plan to run for reelection in 2024 and that he also plans to keep Vice President Kamala Harris on the ticket.
A reporter asked, “I’m hoping you can clear something up here when it comes to the question of 2024. The Vice President did an interview with The Wall Street Journal. She was asked if she assumed that Biden would run again, and she didn’t say yes.”
“I can’t speak to a conversation that the Vice President and the President has,” Jean-Pierre answered. “I could only say what and reiterate what Jen (Psaki) has said and what the President has said himself. He is planning to run for reelection in 2024. I don’t have any more to add to that.”
The reporter asked, “But just to be clear, when the President says he plans to run again, he means with Harris on the ticket?”
“Yes, he does. There’s no change,” Jean-Pierre replied. “Yes. Yes.”

Vice President Kamala Harris, who ended her struggling White House campaign two months before the start of the primary and caucus calendar, traveled to the Granite State last April to highlight the Biden administration’s investments in broadband.
— Advertisement — Sen. Cory Booker of New Jersey, who suspended his presidential campaign a month after Harris, came back to New Hampshire in December to headline a major state party fundraising dinner.
Buttigieg also made a stop in the state in December to showcase the benefits of the recently passed $1.2 trillion bipartisan infrastructure measure, which was a top domestic achievement of the Biden administration.
The president, holding a November event in front of a red-listed bridge in New Hampshire, made the state his first stop to sell the landmark legislation after signing the bill into law just two days earlier.
There has been plenty of chatter and speculation over whether the president will run for reelection in 2024. Biden made history in 2020 when he became the oldest person ever elected president. If he campaigns for reelection in 2024 and wins, Biden would be 82 at his second inaugural and 86 at the end of his second term.
