After the midterm congressional elections in November, President Joe Biden intends to begin his reelection campaign, perhaps setting up a rematch with former President Donald Trump in 2024.
To put an end to speculation circulating about the Democrat's preparations for the 2024 election, US President Joe Biden could declare his candidacy for reelection earlier than usual after the November congressional election, according to a number of sources.
Even while he has always said that he plans to run for reelection, Biden, who turns 80 just after the November 8 midterm elections, has been under growing scrutiny over his own political future. Ronald Reagan, who served two terms in office and retired at age 77, was surpassed by Biden as the oldest individual to hold the White House.
Biden Plots 2024 Presidential Run
There is growing discussion over whether he, or anybody else, could manage the greatest economy in the world while enduring the rigors of a US presidential campaign in their eighties. At the conclusion of a 2024 term, his main potential Republican rival, Donald Trump, would likewise be in his 80s.Prior to a Republican opponent starting an almost two-year steeplechase to the 2024 presidential election, an early announcement was made.
An early announcement would be a wise move for Biden, according to people involved in the president's campaign planning, who told Reuters that it would demonstrate to political donors, potential opponents both inside and outside the party, as well as the general public, that Biden is not a lame duck and that Democrats are united behind his policies, personality, and leadership.
The move would also equip a sizable and significantly better-funded campaign operation designed to sell Biden's agenda to the nation than the White House alone could muster as their efforts to sell their legislative accomplishments over two years withered under hot inflation and acrimonious partisanship.
According to a person familiar with the president's views, Biden is meeting with his political advisers and continually emphasizes that the focus should be on the midterm elections right now rather than the timing of any presidential campaign. Recent calls for Biden to step aside in favor of a younger successor have come from three congressional Democrats, while a number of others have explicitly refrained from endorsing him. According to a survey analysis by FiveThirtyEight, just roughly 40% of people approve of Biden.
Allies, however, claim that in light of recent information on Trump and his involvement in the uprising on January 6, 2021, as well as the Republican Party's continued support for the former president, Biden's determination has increased. FBI investigators searched Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida this week as part of an investigation into whether he deleted sensitive White House records, while Trump was deposed by the attorney general of New York on allegations that his companies deceived lenders.
Per Mint, Biden regularly mentions surveys in which he would defeat Trump in a head-to-head contest in 2024. He also thinks he earned the Democratic nomination in 2020 because he had the best opportunity to unseat the outgoing president. However, in the event of a rematch, Biden would be the incumbent, defending his track record in terms of the economic and foreign policy while thwarting Trump and his still robust and motivated base of supporters.
Biden to Tout Passage of Climate And Health Care Bill Across US
Friday's passage in the US House of Representatives on a $430 billion measure to combat climate change and decrease prescription medicine costs is seen by Democrats as a significant electoral victory for President Joe Biden ahead of the midterm elections in November.
The plan will help decrease the federal budget, curb domestic greenhouse gas emissions, enable Medicare to negotiate lower medicine prices for the elderly, and guarantee that affluent individuals and businesses pay their fair share of taxes, according to Democrats.
The "Inflation Reduction Act," which had a marathon, 27-hour session, was approved by the Senate on a party-line vote on Sunday. If the House approves the bill, Biden will sign it into law at the White House, as per US News. Republican opposition to the measure includes claims that it will prevent the discovery of new medications, destroy employment by increasing corporate tax rates, and further fuel inflation.
The law has been under development for more than 18 months. It is the refined version of Biden's initial, comprehensive Build Back Better proposal, which had to be scaled back in response to Republican and important Democratic legislators' resistance. Democrats, who have been struggling for months due to inflation and Biden's dismal job popularity ratings, are hoping that the law would support them when voters go to the polls in November to pick the makeup of Congress in preparation for the 2024 presidential race.
The law, along with a number of other legislative successes, will be touted by President Biden on a national tour as a victory for voters and a setback for special interests. In November, Republicans are expected to take control of the House and maybe the Senate as well.
