List Of 2024 Confirmed Democrats:

President Joe Biden (Announce on- April, 25):

United States President Joe Biden has launched his re-election campaign for the 2024 presidential race. If successful, this would mark his second term as president and a potential rematch against Republican contender Donald Trump. Biden made the announcement via a video released on Tuesday, April 25, coinciding with the fourth anniversary of his first successful presidential campaign. While a majority of Democrats are in favor of Biden winning against a Republican challenger in next year’s election, the President is currently facing some of the lowest approval ratings of his tenure.

Additionally, his age has raised concerns about his ability to effectively serve for a second term as he would be 86 years old at the end of it. In fact, Biden is relying on his first-term accomplishments and more than five decades of experience in Washington to outweigh concerns about his age. While he is expected to secure his party’s nomination without serious opposition, he faces a difficult challenge to retain the presidency in a nation that remains bitterly divided.

“I said we are in a battle for the soul of America, and we still are,” Biden said in his campaign video. “The question we are facing is whether in the years ahead we have more freedom or less freedom, more rights or fewer.”

The Republican Party reacted to Biden’s announcement by calling the Democrat “out of touch”. The Republican National Committee released a statement stating that Biden, despite creating multiple crises, believes he is deserving of another four years, demonstrating a clear disconnect with reality.

If voters allow President Biden to ‘finish the job‘ and complete his term, it presents an opportunity for him to address ongoing challenges such as managing inflation, reducing crime rates, and addressing border security. In addition, some advocates may continue to express concerns regarding educational outcomes and the economic well-being of American families.

Marianne Williamson:

Date of Announcement: Feb. 23, 2023
Marianne Williamson is an American author, spiritual teacher, and activist. She has written several bestselling books on spirituality and personal growth, including “A Return to Love” and “The Age of Miracles“. She is also a political activist and is running for President for the second time after an unsuccessful 2020 campaign.

During her campaign, Williamson emphasized the need for a moral and spiritual awakening in American society. She advocated for policies such as reparations for slavery, a Department of Peace, and Medicare for All. Williamson has been an outspoken critic of the Trump administration and has advocated for progressive causes such as criminal justice reform, environmental protection, and LGBTQ+ rights.
