Joe Biden Launches 2024 Campaign: Let’s Finish the Job
President Joe Biden is back in the game, launching his 2024 campaign with a focus on beating back “MAGA Republican extremists.” But this time, he’s facing a highly contested race that will involve hot-button topics like abortion, the economy, and immigration.
