Joe Biden (D) is the 46th president of the United States. He announced his candidacy for the 2024 presidential election on April 25, 2023. He won the 2020 presidential election on November 3, 2020, with 306 electoral votes. Biden ran with U.S. Sen. Kamala Harris (D) as his running mate. Biden’s campaign has highlighted the work of his administration, including the creation of new jobs, the passage of the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act of 2021 and the United States Chips and Science Act, and the provisions of the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 that addressed climate change and allowed Medicare to negotiate prescription drug prices. A Biden campaign ad outlined his policy priorities for a second term, saying he’d work to make childcare and elder care more accessible, protect Social Security and Medicare, enact a minimum tax for billionaires, codify the right to abortion, ban assault weapons, and support voting rights. He criticized the Republican Party, saying, “MAGA extremists are […] cutting Social Security that you paid for your entire life while cutting taxes for the very wealthy, dictating what healthcare decisions women can make, banning books, and telling people who they can love. All while making it more difficult for you to be able to vote.” Biden represented Delaware in the U.S. Senate from 1973 to 2009 before serving as vice president under President Barack Obama (D) from 2009 to 2017.
