Why a Biden-Harris reelection ticket makes sense for the Democrats in 2024

Retrieved on: 
Wednesday, April 26, 2023

After months of speculation, the US president, Joe Biden, has confirmed his intention to seek reelection in 2024.

Key Points: 
  • After months of speculation, the US president, Joe Biden, has confirmed his intention to seek reelection in 2024.
  • That’s why I’m running for reelection.
  • When I ran for president four years ago, I said we are in a battle for the soul of America.
  • According to a recent CBS News poll, almost half (45%) of Democrats think that Biden shouldn’t run.

The age-old question

    • Just like Biden, even Reagan’s own party was worried about his age before his first election in 1980, at the (relatively) youthful age of 70.
    • Instead, Republicans have focused on the issues that continue to challenge the Biden administration: inflation and immigration concerns at the southern border.
    • Carter was the last incumbent to be challenged for the nomination when Senator Edward Kennedy threw his hat into the ring in 1980.

Running mate

    • Biden’s confirmation of his intention to run included his selection of the vice-president, Kamala Harris, as his running mate.
    • Questions had been raised about whether Biden might have chosen someone else for the ticket.
    • Instead, he has identified Harris as his nominated successor, an issue that had concerned many Democrats.
    • Until then, it appears almost certain that Democrats will put their faith in the Biden-Harris ticket for one more term.
