Watch: President Joe Biden announce 2024 White House election bid

Joe Biden is giving his first speech since announcing his re-election campaign, where he asked voters to let him finish the job as president.

His bid makes him the oldest presidential candidate in US history.

“Let’s finish this job. I know we can,” Mr Biden, 80, said in a slickly-produced video of roughly three minutes on Tuesday.

The phrase, which he used several times during his State of the Union address in February, appears to be his new campaign slogan.

If he wins re-election Mr Biden, already the oldest ever US president, would be 82 at his second inauguration, and 86 when he leaves office.

Donald Trump has already declared his third presidential bid, putting the country on course for a re-match of the 2020 presidential race.
