Both Republicans and Democrats hesitant to choose strategy and candidate for next election.
The shadow of doubt over American parties.
As worries about the upcoming election and the possibility of Republicans returning to power are growing, the US president and a number of his entourage have in recent days reassured their Democratic allies that 79-year-old Joe Biden has made a serious decision in this year’s presidential election. Become a candidate in 2024. Republicans, however, continue to question “what to do with Trump” as polls suggest former President Donald Trump is superior to Joe Biden and his deputy, Kamala Harris.
The performance of the Biden administration in recent months has raised many concerns for Democrats, who fear that the continuation of the current situation will lead to a severe defeat for the Democrats in the next election (2022 Congress – 2024 President). While a number of polls show Biden’s popularity at less than 40 percent nationally, according to an average of 538 polls, more than 42 percent of Americans are satisfied with Biden’s performance, and 51.8 percent of Americans disapprove of his performance. .
By conveying the message that he intends to run in the next presidential election, Biden intends to dispel the hypothesis he predicted that, given his advanced age and low popularity, Biden is not thinking about running for a second term. However, the move has made it difficult for the vice president to campaign for his vice president, as well as for Democrats seeking candidacy in the 2024 election. “From the beginning, all I heard from him was that he would run in the next presidential election, and I’m happy about that,” said Chris Dadd, a Democratic senator from Connecticut and a close friend of Joe Biden. Biden also recently announced in a Democratic fundraising program that he would run in the next election. Former Pennsylvania Gov. Edrendel, who was in charge of running the program, says Biden is re-attending because he is confident of his health and “if he feels he is not physically or even mentally fit for the upcoming election,” he said. “He will not run.”
The Washington Post wrote in an analysis that Biden failed to build this confidence in the party’s upcoming elections. According to the newspaper, 28 Democratic strategists who preferred to speak on condition of anonymity have stated that internal party debates over the party’s main candidate in the upcoming elections are continuing. “Whether or not Biden will run in the next election is a question that is repeated every day,” said one strategist. “No one in the first term of President Barack Obama or Donald Trump raised this question, and that means there are serious concerns about Biden’s health in the years to come.”
These doubts about the future of the Democratic Party come at a time when, in addition to Biden, his first deputy, Kamala Harris, has not had a successful record in recent months, and polls show that if he confronts Donald Trump, Democrats are more likely to fail. According to Newsweek, in a new poll conducted by the Redfield & Wilton Research Center in the race between Trump and Biden in 2024, 44% of respondents will vote for Trump and 39% for Biden. The poll also shows that in a possible rivalry between Trump and Harris, 45 percent of respondents will vote for Trump and 36 percent for Harris.
