WASHINGTON, D.C. (WDEF) — President Joe Biden made the announcement on Tuesday that he is running for re-election.

He posted his campaign video to his official YouTube page.

Following the announcement, Biden took to social media to discuss some main talking points for his campaign.

The president repeatedly targeted “MAGA Republicans” in these posts. He claims that republicans will make cuts to VA healthcare, social security and taxes for the wealthy.

Donald Trump previously announced that he is running for president in 2024 as well.

Other republicans running are Nikki Haley, Vivek Ramaswamy and Asa Hutchinson.

There are others considering running, including Ron DeSantis, who many expect to make a public announcement on the matter soon.

Democratic opponents to the sitting president include Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. and Marianne Williamson.

Robert Kennedy, Jr. released a statement following this announcement.

“I have known and liked Joe Biden for many years, but we differ profoundly on fundamental issues such as corporate influence in government, censorship, civil liberties, poverty, corruption, and war policy, among others,” Kennedy said. “I look forward to engaging him in debates and town hall meetings, in a primary election that is honest, civil, and transparent. I invite him into a new era of respectful dialog in these times of division.”

Donald Trump made a statement as well.

He explains why he thinks Joe Biden should not be re-elected, in a video lasting over four minutes.

Some talking points include the rise in inflation, failing banks, the fall of the U.S. dollar, high prices of gasoline, and much more.
