'Let's finish the job': Joe Biden announced he will seek re-election as president in 2024

US President

announced Tuesday that

, entering, at 80, a fierce new campaign for the White House "to finish the job."

"Every generation has a moment where they have had to stand up for democracy. Stand up for your fundamental freedoms. I believe this is ours. That's why I'm running for re-election as President of the United States. Join us. Let's finish the job," Biden wrote in a Twitter message accompanied by a video.
