As President Joe Biden left a raucous rally in his ancestral home in Ireland on Friday night, he told reporters that the journey abroad has “reinforced” his plans to run for re-election in 2024.
, “No, no, no, no. I've already made that calculus. We’ll announce it relatively soon. But the trip here just reinforced my sense of optimism about what can be done.” Pressed further on whether he has made a “decision” to run, Biden shot back, “I told you my plan is to run again.
