President Biden has announced his plan to run for re-election in 2024. In a video announcement, Biden spoke about fighting for America’s freedoms and democracy while highlighting his support from Black voters and Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson.
But despite his announcement, a recent NBC poll shows that more than half of Democrats don’t want Biden to run again, with his age being a significant factor.
While Biden may be able to beat his likely opponent, Donald Trump, who is also in his 70s, a younger GOP nominee would have a significant advantage.
Some experts, like Rich Lowry from National Review, believe that Biden’s political genius is not provoking strong negative emotions because no one, in particular, thinks of him as being in charge or as having anything interesting to say.
Biden’s rhetoric is generally moderate-sounding, and he never says anything memorable. Even with the radical and lawless acts of his administration, it’s hard to associate those qualities with an elderly man who tells stories of his bygone cooperation with Republicans and often rambles to little effect.
While Biden’s political strategists may be trying to protect him from the unscripted exchanges that have often resulted in missteps and criticism, the president will have to defend his record in the coming election.
He has had some successes, like passing a COVID relief bill and infrastructure law, but also faced significant challenges, like the chaotic withdrawal from Afghanistan and border issues.
