US President Joe Biden proposed on Wednesday that he could overcome Donald Trump again in a 2024 rematch, and cautioned the previous conservative president was a danger to the country.
Biden marked the occasion in a Rose Garden news conference following a meeting with South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol, not on the campaign trail, one day after launching his reelection bid.
A journalist squeezed the Popularity based president on whether he was running for re-appointment since he accepted he was the one in particular who could beat Trump.
"I may not be the one to focus on, yet I realize him well and I know the peril he presents to our majority rule government," Biden said. " We've been down this street previously."
Biden's launch video on Tuesday included pledges to defend American liberties from "extremists" associated with the former president, as well as footage from the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol by supporters of Trump.
Biden said he ran in 2020 due to what he portrayed as a remarkable danger presented by Trump. He now asserts that Trump has nothing to do with his decision to run again.
Biden said of Trump, who has already announced his candidacy along with several other Republican candidates, "I think I still would be running if he wasn't."
In addition, Biden stated that he expected voters to consider the same issue fairly and that he took a "hard look" at whether his age—80—should influence his decision to run.
"Before I made the decision to run, I gave it some serious thought. I feel good, I'm excited about the possibilities, and I think we're about to really turn the corner in a way we haven't in a long time."
The president said there is more he wants to do to situate the US so it is "monetarily and politically secure for quite a while."
A Reuters analysis shows that Democratic and Biden groups that use the ActBlue fundraising platform to get small-dollar donations got at least $6 million in the first 24 hours after the campaign started.
Due to the fact that it includes other Democratic groups and excludes some sources of Biden fundraising, the figure is not a comprehensive estimate of what the campaign raised. Biden's campaign did not respond to requests for comment.
Since the campaign's launch, supporters of Biden's 2020 campaign have received at least four text messages and three emails requesting financial support.
A gathering of workers who get enormous aggregates by facilitating private mission capabilities with very much obeyed benefactors are meeting on Friday with Biden and plan to begin facilitating occasions before long. Before 2024, the campaign may raise and spend more than $1 billion.
"Ridin with Biden. On Twitter, Alex Soros, the son of George Soros, a billionaire investor and liberal donor, wrote, "Let's go Joe.
The first advertisement for Biden's re-election campaign for the 2024 election cycle was released earlier on Wednesday. It also discusses gun violence, abortion, and safeguarding democracy, as well as the riots that occurred on January 6.
