"Biden Turns Towards 2024 as Country Contemplates his Record in Office and the New Record his Relection Could Represent."
In 2020 Joe Biden set a record becoming at the age of 77 the oldest candidate ever elected president and if he runs and is reelected in the 2024 presidential election he will set a new record.
All major polls give President Biden approval ratings in the low to mid 40s and there will be a new Republican majority in the House of Representatives on January 1st, 2023. Even though the Republicans will have a very narrow majority in the House and the Democrats will still control the U.S. Senate, the House Republicans are vowing to oppose all of Biden's agenda and launch investigations into the business dealings of his son that they claim has compromised President Biden's foreign policy decisions.
There is also speculation among many Democrats that a younger presidential candidate may elevate the Democrats chances of holding the White House and regaining the House of Representatives in 2024. If Biden runs again in 2024 he will take at least three major contenders out of the 2024 Democratic primaries. U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris and U.S. Transportation Secretary Pete Butijeg are part of Biden's administration and California Governor Gavin Newsom has stated that he won't challenge President Biden.
If Biden runs again in 2024 he may still face a challenge from someone younger in his party, likely emphasizing generational change and if Biden runs again he will likely be motivated by impeding Donald Trump from regaining the White House. Biden's decision may also be motivated by the national inflation rate which has been declining in recent months from its 40 year high of 9.1% but is still a disturbing 7.7%.
If Biden does not run again he may feel it's time for the country to move on from the bitter division of 2020 that a Biden, Trump rematch will likely evoke. If Biden does not seek relection all attention will quickly turn to Vice President Harris and California Governor Newsom as his likely successors.
