US Presidential Polls 2024: With just a couple of months left until the 2024 US Presidential elections, President Joe Biden announced on July 5 that he will remain in the race. He also expressed confidence in defeating former President Donald Trump, as reported by ANI citing NBC News.
“Addressing his supporters in Madison, Biden said, as ANI quoted, “You probably heard that I had a little debate last week. Can’t say it is my best performance, but ever since then, there’s been a lot of speculation: ‘What’s Joe going to do? Is he going to stay in the race? Is he going to drop out, what’s he going to do?’ Well, here’s my answer. I am running and gonna win again.”
Joe Biden noted that people are trying to push him out of the race. He announced, as NBC quoted, “Let me say it as clear as I can: I’m staying in the race! I’ll beat Donald Trump.”
But Joe Biden made a gaffe, saying he will beat Donald Trump ‘again in 2020’. But then appeared to correct himself and said, “We’re going to do it again in 2024.”
Biden, emphasizing that a 90-minute debate would not overshadow his achievements over the past three and a half years, stated, “I learned long ago, when you get knocked down, you get back up.”
Democratic allies believe that Biden should campaign more energetically to demonstrate his capability for a second term.
Addressing concerns about his age, Joe Biden asked, “You think I’m too old to restore Roe v. Wade nationwide? Too old to ban assault weapons again? To protect Social Security and Medicare?” The crowd responded with a resounding, “No.”
“Then he went to on to ask the audience if he was too old to defeat Trump, to which audience replied, “No!”
Currently, Joe Biden is 81 years old, while Trump is 78 years old. According to a poll conducted by a New York Times and Siena stated 74 per cent of voters considered Biden as too old for the job.
