President Joe Biden is planning on announcing his candidacy for the Democratic nomination on Tuesday on the four-year anniversary of his 2020 campaign announcement. The move comes as Biden is slipping in the polls which is particularly evident in a new poll from NBC News that sees him losing to a Republican candidate by six points.
According to the Washington Post, the 80-year-old Biden will release a prerecorded video on Tuesday morning to launch his campaign as Democrat aides ready the logistics necessary to run an expected $2 billion operation by November 2024.
President Biden is planning on attending a donor summit as well later this week which will include top Democrat donors that will likely pay out millions to see the aging Democrat secure a second term.
Biden’s plans for a swift and easy reelection, however, will not come to fruition. A new NBC poll shows that voters would rather have a Republican in the White House come 2025.
When asked whether the 1,000 respondents would vote for Biden, 21 percent said they would definitely vote for him, 20 percent said they would probably vote blue, eight percent said they’d probably vote for the Republican candidate, and 39 percent said they would definitely vote for the GOP.
Meanwhile, two percent of respondents said they would vote independent, four percent said it depended on the candidates, and four percent were not sure who they would vote for.
With only 41 percent of respondents saying they would vote for Biden, that’s bad news for the president’s reelection prospects as he continues to face domestic and foreign policy crises.
Biden is currently staring down a fight with House Republicans over the debt ceiling as well as various investigations into his family over business deals in foreign countries led by his son Hunter.
Abroad, Biden just ordered the evacuation of the U.S. embassy in Khartoum, Sudan thus leaving thousands of Americans stranded in the country in what is seen as a repeat of the Afghanistan withdrawal.
Biden’s announcement on Tuesday will come with the normal fanfare expected of an incumbent president announcing his reelection. Under the surface, however, the Biden campaign has a host of challenges ahead of it as it prepares to tackle its various problems and go on to challenge Donald Trump for the presidency.
