President Joe Biden told “TODAY” show co-host Al Roker on Monday that he plans to run for a second term.
“I plan on running, Al, but we’re not prepared to announce it yet,” he said at the start of the Easter Egg Roll.
Biden’s remarks come as top White House advisers are preparing to make final decisions on launching his re-election campaign, several sources familiar with the discussions told NBC News. Several considerations in the decision-making process include that no major Democratic challenger has emerged; that former President Donald Trump, who is running for the GOP nomination, has been indicted and is consuming the political spotlight; and that there’s a major clash coming with congressional Republicans over spending.
