Biden launches 2024 bid, betting record will top age worries
that served as his reelection announcement, Mr. Biden pitched himself as an alternative to former President Donald Trump, who could potentially be his rival again in 2024.
New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy, a Democrat whispered as a potential fallback option had Mr. Biden dropped out, tweeted the president “has shown remarkable leadership getting our country back on track while protecting our freedoms from right-wing extremists.” Perhaps most alarming for the president, 70% of voters, including 51% of Democrats, say Mr. Biden should not run for office in 2024, an NBC News poll found. Meanwhile, 21% of respondents said Mr. Biden’s age is a “minor” factor in why they don’t want him to run again.
Advocates for young voters say Mr. Biden’s senior status isn’t a big factor, especially because Generation Z is used to being ruled out of political power based on age. She also said health care, mass shootings and mental health are significant priorities for Generation Z voters. “History is littered with failed candidates who tried to run the last campaign instead of the next one,” he said. “Biden supporters have a litany of things they can point to legislatively they have rightly accomplished but it just gets overwhelmed by this pervasive sense of doubt about his ability to execute the duties of this office. This is not just from his reflexive critics or Republicans, it is people in his own party.
