President Joe Biden (via Flickr/White House)President Joe Biden officially announced he will be running for a second term as president in the 2024 elections.
From the New York Times:
President Biden formally announced on Tuesday that he would seek a second term, arguing that American democracy still faces a profound threat from former President Donald J. Trump as he set up the possibility of a climactic rematch between the two next year.
In a video that opens with images of a mob of Trump supporters storming the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, the president said that the “fight for our democracy” has “been the work of my first term” but is incomplete while his predecessor mounts a comeback campaign for his old office that Mr. Biden suggested would endanger fundamental rights.
If Mr. Biden and Mr. Trump square off again next year, it would be the first time that the same nominees faced each other in consecutive presidential elections since 1956.

We are in a battle for the soul of this nation. Will we, in four years, have more rights or fewer?
I know what I want the answer to be. And I need you with me, talking to your friends, neighbors and communities about what’s at stake.
