“People recognized he was the one candidate who could defeat Donald Trump and protect American democracy,” Rep. David Cicilline, D-R.I., said of Biden’s nomination in 2020. “It’s still the case.” Democrats cast aside reservations and embrace Biden 2024:
President Joe Biden speaks to reporters at the White House in Washington, on April 21, 2023.
Plans are in place for Biden to formally begin a 2024 campaign as early as Tuesday with a low-key video timed with the anniversary of his campaign kickoff four years ago. It is a rollout that many Democrats are greeting more with a sense of stoicism than enthusiasm. For now, the only announced challengers to Biden are Marianne Williamson, whose last run amounted to an asterisk in the 2020 campaign, and Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who is leveraging his family name to promote his anti-vaccine views.
“If we are eliminating people because of how old they are,” he said, “I don’t think that would be fair and equitable.” Democrats generally and the White House in particular know well the modern history of presidential reelection campaigns and that nearly all the recent incumbents to lose faced serious primary challenges: George H.W. Bush in 1992, Jimmy Carter in 1980, Gerald Ford in 1976 and, before he withdrew and Democrats ultimately lost, Lyndon B. Johnson in 1968.
During his first two years, Biden built up considerable goodwill among progressives, embracing many of the left’s priorities, including canceling student loan debt, and keeping a far more open line of communication with the party’s left-most flank than the previous two Democratic administrations. He has signed landmark bills that have been progressive priorities, including climate provisions in the Inflation Reduction Act and a temporary child-tax credit.
