President Biden inched closer on Friday to formally announcing his re-election campaign, telling reporters that he would do so “relatively soon,” the New York Times reports.
Said Biden: “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.”
Asked if that meant he had made a decision, he responded, with a hint of impatience: “I told you, my plan is to run again.”
