President Biden’s 2024 election campaign staff will move out of D.C. and into their own dedicated offices at their new headquarters in Delaware this week.
The first wave of aides is up and running at the Wilmington, Delaware, headquarters, and the next wave is expected to make the transfer by the end of September, Axios reported.
“Having a campaign headquarters outside of D.C. is critical to building a strong, connected team, and I know that soon enough, we will all have our favorite dinner spots, running paths, and coffee shops. We look forward to welcoming supporters, volunteers, and even reporters to come soon enough,” campaign manager Julie Chávez Rodríguez told the outlet.
The ramp-up of Biden’s campaign efforts is the latest sign that the 2024 election season is getting well under way. Until now, Biden’s campaign staff had worked remotely or out of offices in the DNC headquarters in Washington.

Meanwhile, fewer than half of Americans say former President Trump is too old to hold office, despite him being just three years younger.
The poll further found that American voters increasingly support wide-ranging rules aimed at keeping America’s leaders young. Roughly two-thirds of Americans say they support imposing age limits on the presidency, Congress and the Supreme Court.
