President Joe Biden is not yet a declared candidate for reelection, but he is acting like one.
He is staging a number of events that allow him to sharpen his campaign message in front of friendly audiences, while his political advisers intensify planning behind closed doors for the expected launch of his 2024 campaign.
Aides have interviewed potential campaign managers and held discussions about how and when to kick off the run, according to people familiar with the matter. No final decisions on those matters have been made. Biden cryptically told reporters last Friday in Ireland he would announce his run “relatively soon.”
