President Joe Biden does prepare to make his intention to seek a second-term official next week, with advisers planning to launch his re-election campaign as early as Tuesday, three sources familiar with the plans said.
Even as advisors have been saying for months no formal timetable was agreed to launch Biden’s 2024 campaign, they have long looked forward to April 25, the anniversary of the announcement of Biden’s 2020 campaign, as an informal target. And just like four years ago, Biden would launch his candidacy with a campaign video message, the sources said.
The Washington Post reported first that Biden is preparing to declare his re-election next week.
The timing and method of the announcement mirrors how the Obama-Biden ticket launched its re-election bid in 2011. Jen O’Malley Dillon and Anita Dunn, senior White House advisers who oversaw the upcoming rollout, both worked toward re-election. former President Barack Obama. election effort. Other agents expected to play a role in the 2024 campaign have been preparing for the launch, with top advisers sending signals to “prepare” in recent days, according to a source familiar with the schedule.
As the sitting president rather than a candidate running for office, Biden probably won’t launch the kind of barnstorming tour he did in 2019 after his announcement; instead, he will likely follow the precedent set by other incumbents by adopting a rose garden strategy for much of this year.
Even if Biden doesn’t hold official campaign events until next year, he is expected to continue to travel the country promoting his legislative achievements and using congressional Republicans as his main sparring partners until the Republican nomination race produces his opponent for the general election.
Advisors warn that plans could change based on a variety of factors. A source said nothing is official until Biden himself announces it.
