Visiting US President Joe Biden has announced his intention to run for president again, the Irish National Broadcasting Corporation (RTE) reported today (Saturday).

Before leaving Ireland at midnight Friday, Biden told reporters that he had made his decision to run for a second term and would make an official campaign announcement soon.

Biden arrived in Dublin on Wednesday for a three-day official visit, during which he met his Irish counterpart Michael D. Higgins and held talks with Irish Prime Minister Leo Varadkar.
