                STORY: Biden officially announces 2024 U.S. presidential bid DATELINE: April 25, 2023 LENGTH: 0:00:48 LOCATION: Washington D.C. CATEGORY: POLITICS SHOTLIST: 1. various of Biden at the White House (file) STORYLINE: U.S. President Joe Biden on Tuesday formally announced that he is running for re-election for the presidency in 2024, seeking another four years in the White House, according to an online campaign video. Biden, 80, made the announcement in a three-minute campaign-style video posted on Twitter. "Every generation has a moment where they have had to stand up for democracy. To stand up for their fundamental freedoms. I believe this is ours," he said. "That's why I'm running for reelection as President of the United States." Former U.S. President Donald Trump, who lost to Biden in the 2020 election but has refused to concede, announced his candidacy for the 2024 Republican presidential nomination in November last year. The 2024 U.S. presidential election is scheduled for Nov. 5, 2024.

                  Katie Britt Defends Her False Sex Trafficking Story

                  File photo dated January 3, 2023 shows United States Vice President Kamala Harris administers the Oath of Office to US Senator Katie Britt (Republican of Alabama) while her husband Wesley Britt holds a bible, and her daughters Debra and Julian Boyd look on, during a ceremonial swearing-in at the U.S. Capitol’s Old Senate Chamber in Washington, DC, USA. In her first interview since delivering her widely ridiculed rebuttal to Joe Biden’s State of the Union speech, Republican senator Katie Britt refused to apologize for invoking a story about child rape that she implied resulted from the president’s handling of the ongoing crisis at the southern US border – even though the abuse occurred years earlier in Mexico while her party controlled the White House.
