The Hill: Joe Biden prepares details for launch of 2024 presidential campaign

"It's no longer a question of if he will run, but when he will run," an ally of the president told the aforementioned media outlet.

President Biden and his advisors are actively preparing the details around his 2024 campaign. Multiple sources reported to media outlet The Hill, that the president plans to make public his intentions to run in the coming weeks, most likely in February, sometime near his annual State of the Union address to a joint session of Congress.

"It's no longer a question of if he runs anymore, but when will he run," an ally of the president reported in the aforementioned media outlet. A more formal announcement is anticipated in April, according to a source involved in Biden's 2020 campaign.

The intentions began to crystallize despite some Democrats expressing concerns over the advanced age of the president, who is 80 years old.

First meetings begin

Meanwhile, his advisors are already meeting behind the scenes with key allies and are preparing an extensive digital presence. As reported by The Hill. Biden also discussed his next steps regarding re-election with his family during a vacation in Santa Cruz.

Biden's supporters argue that he has time on his side, particularly amid the disharmony surrounding the Republican party, evidenced by the House speaker's vote.

While Republicans were rushing to pick a leader, Democrats are focused on other issues. Biden spent his time promoting legislative projects, including his infrastructure package, and dictated new measures on immigration policy.

On Wednesday, he traveled to Kentucky, along with Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Kentucky, and was able to telegraph that he had fulfilled one of his campaign promises: to unite the parties. This bipartisan infrastructure event is a good soft campaign pitch, a Democratic strategist told The Hill.

There is still not much information on the finer details of his re-election campaign. Members of Biden's inner circle are hesitant to weigh in until the House speaker's race is over, a source close to the lawmaker said.

Secrecy marks much of the president's political journey, and these weeks leading up to a possible nomination announcement are no different, even on Capitol Hill.

Even the president dodged questions about the preparations surrounding of his re-election campaign.

"There’s an election coming up?” Biden quipped after reporters pressed him about a decision to run again. “2023 is going to be a good year,” he added.
