Biden vows to run as more Democrats ask him to drop out

US President Joe Biden is looking forward to getting back on the campaign trail next week.

The 79-year-old Democrat has been under increasing pressure from within his own party to step aside and make way for a younger candidate in 2024.

But Biden has repeatedly insisted that he intends to run for a second term, and he reiterated that commitment during a press conference on Thursday.

"I'm not going to let the noise out there affect me," Biden said. "I'm going to stay focused on the job I was elected to do, and that's what the American people want me to do."

Biden's comments come as a new poll shows that a majority of Americans believe he is too old to be president.

The poll, conducted by the Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research, found that 58% of Americans believe Biden is too old for the job, while only 37% believe he is not too old.

The poll also found that 62% of Democrats believe Biden is too old for the job, while only 32% believe he is not too old.

Biden's age has been a major issue in the Democratic Party for months, and it is likely to continue to be a factor in the 2024 presidential election.

If Biden does run for re-election, he will face a challenge from several younger candidates, including Vice President Kamala Harris, Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg, and Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.).

The delegates will decide the next Democratic nominee in 2024, but Biden's age is likely to be a major factor in their decision.
