The White House repeated on Monday that President Joe Biden plans to run for reelection in 2024 as failed presidential candidate Hillary Clinton continues rebuilding her political profile.
“The president has every intention of running for reelection,” White House press secretary Jen Psaki said during the daily briefing on Monday.
On Sunday, Clinton warned that former President Donald Trump would run for president again in 2024 and that there would be dire consequences for the United States if he won.
“I think that could be the end of our democracy,” she said in an interview with NBC’s Willie Geist. “Not to be too pointed about it, but I want people to understand that this is a make-or-break point.”
Clinton’s sudden reemergence on the public stage demonstrates her eagerness to put her name back in the political conversation, as President Joe Biden’s approval ratings are at an all-time low.

Hillary Clinton Predicts Trump Will Run for President in 2024 and Says a Win by Him ‘Could Be the End of Our Democracy’
Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton — in an NBC interview that was released in its entirety Sunday — predicted that former President Donald Trump would seek the presidency in 2024 and said victory by him “could be the end” of US democracy.
Clinton, who lost the Democratic presidential nomination in 2008 to Barack Obama before becoming the party’s nominee in 2016, was defeated by Trump in what was seen as one of the biggest political upsets in modern political history.
“If I were a betting person right now, I’d say Trump is going to run again,” she told the “Sunday Today” host Willie Geist. “He seems to be setting himself up to do that, and if he’s not held accountable, he gets to do it again.”
“I think that could be the end of our democracy,” she said. “Not to be too pointed about it, but I want people to understand that this could be a make-or-break point. If he or someone of his ilk were once again to be elected president, especially if he had a Congress that would do his bidding, you will not recognize our country.”
