(Dublin) Joe Biden assured Friday evening when he left Ireland that he would announce his decision “relatively soon” concerning an official presidential candidacy in 2024, recalling that he had the “project” to represent himself.
“I have already made this calculation. We will announce it relatively soon. But this trip has only reinforced my sense of optimism about what can be done,” the US president told reporters when questioning him about a candidacy, adding: “I told you that my project was to represent me. »
“I told you that my plan was to represent me,” he added, from Knock Regional Airport in the west of Ireland.
For several months now, America has wondered less if Joe Biden will start, despite his age, but rather when he will formalize his entry into the campaign.
The 80-year-old Democrat therefore further fueled expectations, before flying to Dublin, where he will stop over before returning to the United States, concluding a journey that began on Tuesday in Belfast and which then took him above all on the traces of his ancestors in Ireland.
