Watch live: Biden speaks for the first time since announcing his 2024 presidential bid

Watch Joe Biden’s speech live on Tuesday, April 25, his first since he officially announced that he will seek re-election in 2024.

The current US President, 80, shared a video on social media Tuesday morning pledging to “protect rights” and “make sure everyone in this country is Tweeted equally” as he launched an attack on the “MAGA extremists”.

“Each generation has a moment in which it has had to defend democracy. To defend their fundamental freedoms. I think this is ours,” Biden’s account tweeted.

“That is why I am running for re-election as President of the United States. Join us. Let’s finish the job.

In response, the GOP released an AI-generated video attack ad showing what they said would be the “possible future of the country” if Biden is re-elected in 2024.
