President Joe Biden has declared his intention to seek reelection in 2024, promising to build on his achievements and finish the job he began in his first term. Despite concerns about his age, Biden is expected to win the Democratic nomination, as he faces no serious challengers within the party. He plans to campaign on his record, highlighting his efforts to combat the pandemic, pass key legislation, and protect access to abortion.
However, with a deeply divided nation and criticisms of his administration’s policies, Biden will face a tough battle to retain the presidency. He will need to rely on the alliance of young voters, Black voters, blue-collar Midwesterners, moderates, and disaffected Republicans who helped him win in 2020. Biden will also need to protect his position in the Upper Midwest, Georgia, and Arizona, while potentially facing a rematch with former President Trump or another Republican candidate in the 2024 election.
