Ever since Joe Biden defeated Donald Trump in 2020 to become president, there have been questions over whether he would seek a second term. Aged 78 when he took office in 2021, Biden was already comfortably the oldest president in US history. Now we're expecting confirmation later this morning that Biden will run again to be US president in 2024.
The announcement will not be a surprise - for months Biden has signalled he intends to run again. But recent polls suggest his decision to run is a divisive one. An NBC News poll over the weekend found that 70% of Americans, and just over half of Democrats, believe he should not run again.
