Biden officially launched his 2024 re-election campaign with a video on Tuesday morning, focusing on "MAGA republicans" and "finishing the job" for the sake of "protecting democracy."
"When I ran for president four years ago, I said we’re in the battle for the soul of America. And we still are. The question we’re facing is whether in the years ahead we have more freedom or less freedom. More rights or fewer rights. I know what I want the answer to be, and I think you do, too. This is not a time to be complacent. That’s why I’m running for re-election," Biden claimed.
Every generation has a moment where they have had to stand up for democracy. To stand up for their fundamental freedoms. I believe this is ours.
