Joe Biden confirms his intention to run for a second term in the White House and returns to attack his possible rival in the presidential elections: Donald Trump, who is currently considered the favorite in the polls (according to Harvard Caps-Harris Poll the tycoon would win the presidential elections with a gap of 4%).
« I'm running because democracy is at stake . Democracy in 2024 is on the ballot again and there is no doubt that Donald Trump and the Maga Republicans (acronym for Make America great again, Trump's slogan, ed.) are determined to destroy American democracy. I will always defend, protect and fight for democracy,” the US president said during a fundraising event on Broadway in New York.
Then the jabs at his predecessor, struggling with various legal proceedings, but more intent than ever on regaining the Republican nomination.
«Many seem focused on my age. But I knew what to do when Covid hit, when Ukraine was attacked and when democracy was at stake", Biden added, underlining that he will never be on the side of "dictators like Putin. Maybe Trump and his friends can bow to Putin , I won't. We must save American democracy,” he added.
And again: «I have never been so optimistic about the future of this country in the 800 years that I have served it », he joked, arousing laughter from the audience.
