President Biden and his team are preparing to announce his reelection campaign next week, with aides finalizing plans to release a video for the president to officially launch his campaign, according to three people briefed on the plans.

Biden and his aides have targeted Tuesday for the release of the video to coincide with the four-year anniversary of his 2020 campaign launch. The people briefed on the plans, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss private deliberations, cautioned that the official announcement could be delayed.

For months, Biden has signaled he planned to run for a second term, but he has held off an official announcement, as he and his aides felt no urgency to launch a campaign, especially after a better-than-expected midterm performance by the Democrats dampened talk of a primary challenge.

Biden's top aides have quietly undertaken extensive preparations for a run, holding regular meetings with the president and first lady since last year in the White House residence. Anita Dunn and Jen O'Malley Dillon, two of Biden's top advisers, have been overseeing the reelection efforts, including interviewing staff for top roles, while the Democratic National Committee has funded research projects to study the election landscape.

1. It's April...2023, right?

Election campaign season in America is longer than elected governing season.

Bet that requires a ton of cash for advertising over…18 months??!….on the very same media that holds the starting pistol! What a system!

6. GOD BLESS President "Fighting Joe Biden" !!!

I'm with him!


His alleged "primary challengers" attempt to rise to the level of the one who challenged Richard Nixon in 1972-- except that he was actually an elected GOP congressman whose name no one remembers now--- but at least he had been elected to ONE office, somewhere...

"Vanity candidacies" for president have much less value in the Democratic party, than in some other parties...

7. Go Go Joe!

He will be the voice of sanity in a field of hooligans.

8. I am for Joe but

is there a backup plan in case he becomes ill or anything? Something other than having McCarthy being in basically a VP position?
I don't think they are planning as seriously as they should be.
Just something on my mind while things seem to be getting worse and the crazies take advantage every second.

9. The VP is the backup plan

It’s relevant to ask what her backup plan for a replacement VP would b

10. In regards to case of re-election

I am thinking that McCarthy would be VP? Before the election am less concerned.
Seems the Dems don't think things out as well as they should sometimes. Am concerned since things are always taken advantage of from the Right.

11. Buttigieg is the obvious choice

Otherwise someone newer.
