President Joe Biden says he plans on seeking reelection in 2024. The 46th President spoke with NBC’s Today Show on Sunday prior to the annual Easter Egg Roll at the White House. Biden will have plenty of time to plan his campaign ahead of the election next November. Additionally, Biden says Vice President Kamala Harris is also likely to join him in seeking reelection. Seeking the highest offices in the land is certainly difficult. However, Biden is likely used to it by now. He won the Presidency in 2020 after a campaign impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. Additionally, he had two successful runs for Vice President with Barack Obama in 2008 and 2012.
Although Biden did not make the announcement official, his 2024 run seems to be all but formality at this point. “I plan on running … but we’re not prepared to announce it yet,” he said. Moreover, the decision to seek reelection was heavily hinted at earlier this year by Biden’s wife. First Lady Jill Biden stated that her husband still had work to do during a speech in February. Meanwhile, Biden’s top advisers are also preparing for the campaign season. One person close to the administration told NBC News that the decision has already been made. “The decision part is over, but he resents the pressure to have to announce what he’s already decided,” the source said.
Moreover, If and when Biden does confirm his run for 2024, it will hardly be surprising. It is extremely rare for first term Presidents to not seek reelection. In fact, only three first-term Presidents have chosen to forego a re-election bid, President Lyndon B. Johnson was the last to do it in 1968. Meanwhile, Biden would enter his 2024 campaign at an uncertain time. Mounting inflation has caused poll numbers to dip. Moreover, polling numbers for former President Donald Trump have increased following Trump’s arrest last week.
However, Joe Biden would be the overwhelming favorite in the Democratic primaries in 2024. Presently, the only other major Democratic figure to announce their campaign is activist and self-help author Marianne Williamson. Therefore, Biden and Trump may very well end up having a rematch of their 2020 election showdown. Biden has seen support from celebrities such as Cardi B, Rihanna and John Legend. We will see if this support can help him to another victory next November.
Though Megan Thee Stallion spent much of early 2023 away from social media and the public eye, the Houston native has been outside with a vengeance lately. Not only did she make her red carpet return at the Vanity Fair Oscars After-Party, but she also announced that her first performance of the year will be taking place in her hometown at the end of March. Clearly, she’s feeling much better now that Tory Lanez has been found guilty of shooting her in the foot several years ago.
Aside from the glamorous parties (one of which found her smoking weed with Seth Rogen) she’s been attending as of late, Thee Stallion also has a few wholesome activities on her calendar. This weekend specifically found the “Big Ole Freak” hitmaker taking a trip across the country to Washington, D.C., where she and Vice President Kamala Harris spent some time together in celebration of Women’s History Month. Megan shared a photo dump from her vacation on Saturday (March 18), revealing some of the fun the two had together.
To begin her carousel, the 28-year-old showed off her outfit for the event, for which she kept it (mostly) conservative. Thee Stallion donned a calf-length black and blue skirt with a matching button-up sweater, which markedly dipped down her chest with a sweetheart neckline to reveal plenty of cleavage. In the second image, she and VP Harris snapped a selfie together. Megan sticks out her tongue to expose perfectly white teeth while the politician grins from ear to ear with excitement over the special moment.
Other photos from the IG post include a better look at the multi-talent’s full fit, including her Birkin bag and kitten heels. Elsewhere, Megan Thee Stallion continued her tradition of showing off her ever-unique nail designs, this time posing her hand beside a latte with “Women’s History Month” carefully written out across the top. According to Daily Mail, the meeting in D.C. was “an opportunity to discuss economic empowerment of women and focused on paid family leave as an investment in the future.” Check out MTS’ wholesome pictures above, and read all about her recent bikini thirst traps here.

Several busloads of migrants were driven and dropped off at Vice President Kamala Harris‘ house on Christmas Eve. They included asylum seekers from Ecuador, Cuba, Nicaragua, Venezuela, Peru, and Colombia. It’s unclear who sent them there, although Texas Gov. Greg Abbott has taken responsibility for similar actions in the past.
Migrant Solidarity Mutual Aid Network volunteer Amy Fischer discussed the situation with CNN. They said an NGO working at the border in Texas warned them about the bussing before the migrants arrived.
“The DC community has been welcoming buses from Texas anytime they’ve come since April. Christmas Eve and freezing cold weather is no different,” she said. “We are always here welcoming folks with open arms.”
As for the White House’s stance on the move, spokesperson Abdullah Hasan labeled it “cruel” and “dangerous.”
“Governor Abbott abandoned children on the side of the road in below freezing temperatures on Christmas Eve without coordinating with any Federal or local authorities,” Hasan said.
He continued: “As we have repeatedly said, we are willing to work with anyone – Republican or Democrat alike – on real solutions, like the comprehensive immigration reform and border security measures President Biden sent to Congress on his first day in office, but these political games accomplish nothing and only put lives in danger.”
Abbott confirmed he sent buses of migrants to Harris’ residence back in September.

As usual, a new release from Kanye means a new slew of drama. Some fans will likely be impacted by his decision to bring out both accused rapist Marilyn Manson and embattled rapper DaBaby at yet another listening. Then, there’s the fact that he sampled his own estranged ex-wife, Kim Kardashian, praising his skills in one of the Donda 2 tracks. But Ye has also included words from another pretty famous woman on his new album. Getting back into his political lane, Ye included none other than Vice President Kamala Harris on one of Donda 2‘s tracks.

In case you missed the moment during last year’s tumultuous election, it’s the recorded phone call between Kamala and President Joe Biden when she calls him with the confirmed results that their ticket did, in fact, win the White House. Though the Democratic party is currently in power, and still seeming incapable of getting any real change pushed through congress, perhaps Kanye quoting Kamala’s heartfelt “we did it!” chant was a little early on. But Kanye is never one to shy away from political games,especially since he ran for president himself in the race Joe eventually won. Still, his inclusion of Kamala’s take on the situation is notable,and might even lead to more.
