US President Joe Biden disclosed on Wednesday that he would be willing to run for reelection in 2024, so long as he remains in good health, but underscoring that a rematch against his predecessor would "increase the prospect."

During an interview, when asked if he'd stick to his second term plans if former US President Donald Trump weighed into the election cycle, Biden didn't shy away.

🗣"You’re trying to tempt me now," Biden said jokingly. "Sure. Why would I not run against Donald Trump for the nominee? That’ll increase the prospect of running."

Biden has previously indicated that he is interested in running for his second term so long as his health remains in top shape.

Flynn requested a temporary restraining order, saying the subpoena of his telephone records had "raised significant Constitutional and practical concerns".

He also argued that it violated the First Amendment, which among other things protects freedom of speech, as well as his Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination.

😡 Religious leaders and activists in Illinois are outraged by a satanic display at the state Capitol, with a goat-like baby Baphomet next to traditional Christian Christmas decorations.

In contrast to the Nativity scene intended to mark the birth of Jesus, the Satanic Temple's display was dedicated to the organisation's own "holiday" named Sol Invictus.

The controversial display was unveiled on Monday, and since then critics have been lashing out at the local authorities for allowing it.
