Joe Biden is set to announce he will run for a second term as US president next week, according to US media.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mr Biden’s advisers are planning to launch his re-election campaign as soon as next Tuesday, three sources said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The 80-year-old president’s advisers have said for months that no formal timetable has been agreed for him to launch his campaign.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
However they have long had their sights set on 25 April, the anniversary of Mr Biden’s 2020 campaign announcement, as an informal target.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mr Biden will launch his candidacy for next year’s election with a campaign video message – just as he did four years ago, the sources said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The timing and method of the announcement mirrors how the Obama-Biden ticket launched its re-election bid in 2011.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Jen O’Malley Dillon and Anita Dunn, senior White House advisers overseeing the announcement of Mr Biden’s campaign, both worked on Mr Obama’s re-election effort.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Advisers have cautioned that plans could still change based on a range of factors, with one source saying that nothing is official until the president announces it himself.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
