Biden Set to Declare Re-Election Bid as Soon as Next Week

WASHINGTON—President Biden is expected to formally launch his re-election campaign with a video announcement next week, said people familiar with the planning.

A formal campaign announcement from Mr. Biden, 80, has long been expected, and the president has been vocal about his desire to “finish the job” he started during his first term. But aides have said there was little urgency to make it official, given the lack of a serious Democratic primary challenger and the chaotic Republican field. Tuesday, April 25, will mark the four-year anniversary of the launch of Mr. Biden’s last presidential campaign.
