The president’s political operation insists he’s running for re-election — and amid questions of his viability, sources tell NBC News, he now intends to show it.
People who have spoken with the president described to NBC News what’s become a familiar exercise. Biden will argue he’s the only one who can beat Trump, sometimes ticking through the names of potential Democratic candidates if he stepped aside — Bernie Sanders, Elizabeth Warren, Pete Buttigieg, even Vice President Kamala Harris.
He’s also expected to pick up a more robust schedule of events around the country in late July when he returns from a trip to the Middle East, his aides said, with an eye toward quieting some of the hand-wringing over his age by demonstrating he has the stamina for campaigning. Beyond upping Biden’s visibility, his advisers have been working with the Democratic National Committee to build up political infrastructure in key midterm battlegrounds — many of which are also likely to be critical in 2024.
A White House official echoed Biden’s private remarks, saying of another matchup with Trump: “He beat him before. It’s not clear there’s anybody else who could. But he did, and can again.”Biden’s allies dismiss concerns from Democrats about whether he’s too old and should step aside, saying those same questions were asked and answered in 2020, and in 2012 when Democrats wondered — even polled — whether then-President Barack Obama should drop him as his running mate.
“This is a president every bit as capable of leading us if re-elected in 2024 as he was in 2020,” Sen. Chris Coons, D-Del., said.telling The Wall Street Journal
