President Joe Biden will run for another term in the White House, according to an official from Rev. Al Sharpton‘s National Action Network.

“I’m going to do it again,” he told Shapton while they posed for a photo in early September in the Roosevelt Room. “I’m going.”

Biden has long been speculated to make another bid for the presidency but has not formally announced his plans. Just last month, Biden told CBS that it was “much too early” to make a decision about 2024.
