Before the White House admitted that confidential documents were found in Joe Biden’s Washington office and Wilmington, Delaware home, the president was under growing pressure to announce whether he would run for re-election in 2024, according to The Hill.

Gavin Newsom, Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg or the current vice president, Kamala Harris?
