Joe Biden, the 46th and current president of the United States, announced his candidacy for re-election for a second presidential term on April 25, 2023, with Vice President Kamala Harris as his running mate. If re-elected, he would be the oldest president inaugurated (on January 20, 2025), breaking his own (January 20, 2021) record, with his second term ending in 2029 at age 86.[7] He would be the second two-term vice president to be elected president twice, after Richard Nixon in 1972.

Biden has made protecting American democracy a central focus of his campaign,[8][9] along with restoring the federal right to an abortion following the Supreme Court's overturning of Roe v. Wade.[10] Biden has stated his intention to increase funding for border patrol and security,[10][11] and increased funding for law enforcement coupled with police reform.[12] Biden has promised to support, protect and expand LGBT rights and previously took several measures during his presidency to that effect.[10] Biden has frequently touted his previous passage of the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, the Chips and Science Act, and the Inflation Reduction Act's landmark[13][14] investment to combat climate change; all of which are expected to invest $1 to $2 trillion in industrial policy over 10 years.[15]

Biden has made strengthening U.S. alliances a key goal of his foreign policy[16] and has promised to continue supporting Ukraine following the Russian invasion of the country and Israel following their war with Hamas, describing them as "vital" to U.S. national security interests. Biden has promised to continue efforts to tackle gun violence and defend the Affordable Care Act following comments Trump made suggesting he would repeal the law.[17][10] Biden has proposed increasing taxes on the wealthy through a "billionaire minimum income tax" to reduce the deficit and fund social services for the poor.[18][10]

Biden's trade policy has been described as rejecting traditional neoliberal economic policy and the Washington Consensus that resulted in the offshoring of manufacturing and thus resulted in increased populist backlash.[19] Biden has proposed and enacted targeted tariffs against strategic Chinese industries to protect manufacturing jobs and counter China's technological and military ambitions.[20] On March 12, 2024, Biden became the presumptive nominee of the Democratic Party after clinching enough delegates in Georgia, and did not face any significant primary challengers.[21]

The first presidential debate was held on June 27, 2024, between Biden and Donald Trump. Biden's performance was widely criticized, with commentators saying he frequently lost his train of thought and gave meandering answers.[22][23][24] Several newspaper columnists declared Trump winner of the debate,[25][26][27][28] with which most of the public agreed, according to polling.[29] After the debate raised questions about his health, Biden faced calls to withdraw from the race, including from fellow Democrats[30] and the editorial boards of several major news outlets.[31][32] Biden insisted that he would remain a candidate.[33]
