Iran Press/ America: In a video released Tuesday, Biden framed next year’s contest as a fight against Republican extremism, implicitly arguing he needed more time to fully realize his vow to restore the nation’s character.Biden joins a 2024 race that has so far been dominated on the Republican side by Trump, who launched his third bid for the White House in November.No major Democratic challengers are expected to emerge against Biden, and only two candidates are currently in the race: self-help guru Marianne Williamson and anti-vaccine and environmental activist Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
Only about half of Democrats think President Biden should run again in 2024, a poll shows, but a large majority say they’d be likely to support him if he became the nominee.
The poll by The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research shows that 26% of Americans overall want to see Biden run again — a slight recovery from the 22% who said that in January. Forty-seven percent of Democrats say they want him to run, also up slightly from only 37% who said that in January.
Despite the reluctance of many Democrats to see Biden run for another term, 78% of them say they approve of the job he’s doing as president. And a total of 81% of Democrats say they would at least probably support Biden in a general election if he is the nominee — 41% say they definitely would and 40% say they probably would.
