Jill Biden, the first lady of the United States, said that her husband, US President Joe Biden, intends to run for a second 4-year term and that she fully supports it even though an official announcement of his intentions has not yet been made.

Jill, in response to a question from CNN, said she expects Biden to announce a campaign, and dismissed a question about whether the 80-year-old Democratic president might choose not to run in the 2024 election. .

"Of course I totally support him," said the first lady, whose opinion is crucial to the president's future plans even as he consults with a close group of longtime political advisers. The question of whether Biden should run in 2024 is still a matter of debate among Democrats. His candidacy for a new term will be a test of whether voters are ready to give Biden, who is America's oldest president ever, another 4 years in office.

Joe Biden has repeatedly announced that he intends to run for re-election and rejected questions about his age, but he has not yet made an official announcement, telling ABC at the White House: "There are many other things that we have to finish in the near term before I start the campaign." .

Biden said last November that he would decide in early 2023 whether to run again, but an announcement is not expected before the spring.
