U.S. President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris, accompanied by their spouses, made a joint visit to their 2024 campaign headquarters in Wilmington, Delaware. The stop served to energize staff and supporters in preparation for a challenging re-election bid, anticipated to be against former President Donald Trump.
Despite Biden expressing confidence based on certain polls, others, including a Reuters/Ipsos survey, show Trump leading, indicating a close and competitive race. The rematch unfolds amidst deep-seated divisions, ranging from opinions on Trump’s presidency to policy disparities on immigration and abortion.
As Biden, 81, positions Trump, 77, as a threat to democracy, Trump counters by framing Biden as overseeing a nation in decline. The electoral contest mirrors the discord within the United States, reflecting broader ideological clashes.
The 2024 primary in South Carolina becomes the initial battleground for Biden’s re-election bid, offering a glimpse into the dynamics of a race that encapsulates the nation’s political polarization.
