“With President Biden struggling to bring his polling numbers up, he and his fellow Democrats are sharpening their focus on a different task—pushing former President Donald Trump’s numbers down,” the Wall Street Journal reports.
“The 2024 campaign appears likely to pit two exceedingly well-known candidates against each other, an incumbent and his predecessor.
Polls show that the contest is essentially tied and, to Democrats’ chagrin, that many voters remember Trump’s presidency in positive terms and think he would handle several issues better than Biden has.”“So Biden is issuing a stark reminder of what life could be like if his rival—the expected Republican challenger—returned to the White House. In speeches, fundraising appearances and on the airwaves, Biden is laying out what he says is at stake, painting an apocalyptic picture of a second Trump term, saying his predecessor would gut the Affordable Care Act, enact a nationwide ban on abortion and ship jobs overseas if elected.”
