White House: Biden running for re-election in 2024

White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre reiterated that U.S. President Joe Biden intends to run for reelection in 2024.

"What I can say is the President has repeatedly said that he plans to run in 2024, and I'm gonna have to leave it there," Jean Pierre said. "All I can say is that the President intends to do what the President plans to do."

Jean-Pierre dismissed a New York Times article calling Biden's age "a major issue" for a reelection bid, blasting the report as "hearsay - it's fallacious."

"That's not what we care about - we care about, how are we going to deliver for the American people? How are we going to make their lives better? That's what the President talks about. That is his focus. And that's where we're going to continue to focus on," she said.

Biden's public approval rating fell in June to 36%, the lowest level of his presidency.
