<p>US President Joe Biden on Tuesday formally announced that he is running for reelection in 2024. He posted a video asking voters to give him more time to “finish the job” he started when he took office. He asked voters to set aside concerns about his age and give another run for America’s oldest president.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The three-minute video&nbsp;comes exactly on the four-year anniversary of Biden's 2019 announcement declaring that he is running for the White House.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"Let's Finish the Job", his video was titled, as was his Twitter post announcing a 2024 presidential bid.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"When I ran for president four years ago, I said we're in a battle for the soul of America, and we still are,"&nbsp;Biden&nbsp;said. "This is not a time to be complacent."</p>

<p>"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. That’s why I’m running for re-election as president of the United States. Join us. Let's finish the job," Biden wrote on Twitter.</p>

<p>Biden scored several big legislative wins and faced foreign policy struggles in his first two years in office. He&nbsp;has no real challenger from within the Democratic Party.</p>

<p>Republicans were quick to react to the announcement, saying he was "out of touch".&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>

<p>While Trump is fighting several legal battles, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, 44, is the most likely Republican challenger to 76-year-old Trump.&nbsp;</p>
