WASHINGTON D.C. (WOLO/ABC NEWS) – President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris announced they will run for a second term today.

The announcement comes four years to the day after Biden announced his candidacy in 2020.

He has also chosen South Carolina Congressman Jim Clyburn to be among the members on his campaign leadership team.

Biden is currently the oldest sitting president.

Polls have shown most Americans — and most Democrats — would prefer he not run again.

Nearly six in 10 Democratic-aligned adults said they didn’t want to see Biden re-nominated, an ABC News/Washington Post poll found in February.

And seven in 10 Americans, and 51% of Democrats, said in the NBC News poll this month that they did not want him to seek a second term, with half of them citing age as a “major” factor.

The White House has responded to those concerns by pointing to the schedule Biden maintains, and his doctor has said he’s fit to serve as commander in chief.

Former president Donald Trump and Former South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley are just some of the Republicans running in the 2024 presidential election.
