BEIJING, Feb. 25 (Xinhua) According to the Associated Press reported on the 24th, in an exclusive interview with the agency, the first lady of the United States, Jill, gave the "clearest answer" so far on whether President Biden will run for the second term. Jill said that there was "almost" nothing to do except to determine the time and place to announce the news.
Although Biden has long said that he intends to seek re-election, he has not officially announced it, and he has been trying to dispel doubts about his age. At the end of his second term, Biden will be 86 years old.
On 24th local time, Jill said in an exclusive interview with the Associated Press in Nairobi, Kenya, "He (Biden) said that he hasn’t finished his work yet. He hasn’t finished what he started. This is the most important thing. " It is reported that Nairobi is the last stop of Jill’s five-day trip to Africa.
Jill added, "How many times does he have to say it to convince you?"
A few hours later, Biden himself was asked what he thought of his wife Jill’s answer in an interview with ABC. He laughed and added, "Look, I’m telling the truth. I have other things to finish before I start a full-scale re-election campaign."
Aides of Biden said that Biden may announce the news after the first fundraising quarter in April, when he will officially launch his re-election campaign.
In the process of Biden’s planning for his future, the first lady has always been regarded as a key figure around him. In this regard, Jill smiled and said: "Because I am his wife."
When asked if she was Biden’s decisive vote for re-election, Jill didn’t answer directly. She said, "Of course he will listen to me because we are husband and wife." Jill later added, "He will make his own decisions, trust me."
