President Biden is expected to make a formal announcement by next Tuesday he will seek re-election in 2024, The New York Times reports. Biden’s team is said to be in the final stages of planning, with a video in production and donors being mobilized.
He would be the third announced Democratic candidate for president in 2024. Robert F. Kennedy Jr. threw his hat in the ring earlier in the week. While RFK Jr. will reportedly emphasize family history instead of his anti-vax positions, most of the Kennedy family are said to be staunch Biden supporters, People magazine reports.
But RFK Jr. does have his wife, actress Cheryl Hines (she plays Larry David’s ex-wife on Curb Your Enthusiasm):
“My husband, RFK Jr., announced today he will be running for president and I support his decision,” Hines said in a statement obtained by People.
First candidate to announce for the Democratic nomination was Marianne Williamson, the author and “spiritual leader” (Wikipedia’s description) who first ran in 2020.
