president<\/a> of the United States. Join us. Let\u2019s finish the job.\u201d<\/p>\nAfter a series of big legislative wins and momentous foreign policy struggles in his first two years in office, Biden has no real challenger from within the Democratic Party.<\/p>\n
But in a campaign that may result in a rematch of the 2020 election against Donald Trump, he is expected to face constant and fierce scrutiny over his age.<\/p>\n
The veteran Democrat would be 86 by the end of a second term. Even if a medical exam in February found him \u201cfit\u201d to execute the duties of the presidency, many including in his own voter base believe he is too old.<\/p>\n
An NBC News poll released over the weekend found that 70 percent of Americans, including 51 percent of Democrats, believe he should not run.<\/p>\n
Sixty-nine percent of all respondents who said he shouldn\u2019t run cited concerns over his age as a major or minor reason.<\/p>\n
Biden likes to answer those concerns by saying, \u201cwatch me\u201d \u2014 meaning that voters should focus on his policy wins at home and his marshaling of an unprecedented Western alliance to help Ukraine defend itself against Russia\u2019s invasion.<\/p>\n
Over the next year and a half, Biden will have all the advantages of incumbency, backed by a united party, while Republicans are only just starting a messy primary season.<\/p>\n
Trump, despite becoming the first former or serving president to be criminally indicted \u2014 and facing probes into his attempt to overturn his loss to Biden in the 2020 election \u2014 is the overwhelming Republican frontrunner.<\/p>\n
On Monday, Trump was quick to pitch in his own criticism of the man who defeated him last time around.<\/p>\n
\u201cWith such a calamitous and failed presidency, it is almost inconceivable that Biden would even think of running for reelection,\u201d he said in a statement.<\/p>\n
The most likely Republican challenger to the 76-year-old Trump, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, presents a similarly right-wing figure, though starkly younger at 44.<\/p>\n
\u2013 \u2018Rebuilding the middle class\u2019 \u2013
\nBiden will underline his foreign policy credentials Tuesday when he meets with South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol, who is starting a state visit to the White House.<\/p>\n
Like in 2020, Biden\u2019s video message framed his election bid as a fight to save American democracy from Trump and increasingly far-right Republicans. However, he also stressed his message of restoring an economy with heavy focus on the manufacturing base and jobs for the middle class.<\/p>\n
Later Tuesday he was scheduled to deliver an economic address to a union conference being held in Washington.<\/p>\n
While not a campaign event, the scheduled theme \u2014 \u201chow his investing in America agenda is bringing manufacturing back, rebuilding the middle class, and creating good-paying union jobs\u201d \u2014 was set to be at the heart of the Democrat\u2019s 2024 message.<\/p>\n
\u2013 Bland but comforting? \u2013
\nBiden\u2019s approval ratings have not topped 50 percent for more than a year and a half.<\/p>\n
However, he has consistently over-delivered when it matters. Supporters say the Democratic Party\u2019s surprisingly strong performance in 2022 midterm congressional elections validated the Biden brand.<\/p>\n
And while Biden may seem bland in comparison to Trump, he would bank on his moderate, old fashioned image being the secret weapon needed in an increasingly extreme era.<\/p>\n
\u201cMy dad had an expression,\u201d Biden often says. \u201c\u2018Joey, don\u2019t compare me to the Almighty. Compare me to the alternative.’\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
