After months of teasing, President Joe Biden is expected finally to announce his bid for a second term Tuesday, defying lukewarm polls and, at 80, boldly pushing what was once considered age boundaries for one of the planet\u2019s most stressful jobs.<\/p>\n

\u201cStay tuned,\u201d Biden told reporters at the White House.<\/p>\n

Neither the White House, the Democratic Party nor the president himself have confirmed he will announce but multiple US media reports, citing unnamed sources, say the move will come early Tuesday in a video address.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ll let you know real soon,\u201d Biden told reporters when asked about an announcement.<\/p>\n

The date would fall exactly four years after Biden announced his candidacy for the 2020 election in which he defeated Donald Trump. That too was made in the low-key format of a video, as was Barack Obama\u2019s 2012 re-election campaign announcement.<\/p>\n

By contrast, Trump formally launched his bid for a second term in 2019 at one of his signature rallies.<\/p>\n

Trump, 76, has also already announced his bid for a 2024 comeback and is the strong frontrunner to be the Republican Party\u2019s nominee, despite having been criminally indicted and remaining under multiple other investigations on serious allegations.<\/p>\n

Biden\u2019s Tuesday schedule currently features an address on the economy at a Washington hotel conference room.<\/p>\n

While not a campaign event, the scheduled theme \u2013 \u201chow his investing in America agenda is bringing manufacturing back, rebuilding the middle class, and creating good-paying union jobs\u201d \u2013 is set to be at the heart of the Democrat\u2019s 2024 message.<\/p>\n

In the evening, Biden and First Lady Jill Biden will visit Washington\u2019s Korean War Memorial along with South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol and his wife Kim Keon Hee, as they kick off a state visit \u2013 and give Biden an opportunity to highlight his foreign policy record.<\/p>\n

\u2013 Low enthusiasm \u2013<\/p>\n

History shows that as the incumbent, Biden would have an immediate advantage.<\/p>\n

Trump, dragged down by his management of the Covid-19 pandemic and fears among many swing voters that he was a threat to democracy, was the first sitting president in three decades to lose re-election.<\/p>\n

Biden<\/a> is also presiding over a powerful post-pandemic economic revival \u2014 usually a key factor in deciding presidential elections.<\/p>\n

However, he faces unique headwinds. Chief among these is worry over his age.<\/p>\n

He\u2019d be 82 when he began his second term and 86 when he left office. At 80, he is already the oldest person ever in the Oval Office.<\/p>\n

An official medical report this year found Biden to be physically in good condition.<\/p>\n

But the president\u2019s noticeably slow walk \u2013 notwithstanding his habit of throwing in a few steps at a jog \u2013 and his frequent moments of becoming tongue-tied during public speaking have spooked even supporters.<\/p>\n

An NBC News poll released over the weekend found that 70 percent of Americans, including 51 percent of Democrats, believe he should not run for a second term. Forty-eight percent cited concerns over their age as the main reason and another 21 percent cited that as a minor reason.<\/p>\n

Among those raising strong doubts over Biden\u2019s fitness to serve another grueling four years after this term end was The New York Times editorial board last week.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe president also needs to talk about his health openly and without embarrassment, and to end the pretense that it doesn\u2019t matter,\u201d it said.<\/p>\n

Asked about the issue, Biden always replies \u201cwatch me\u201d \u2013 explaining that voters should look not at his age but at his record of delivering several historic investment bills, leading a coalition to support Ukraine against Russian invasion, and other achievements during a drama-filled first term.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
