Biden: Let's Finish The Job!

Let's Finish The Job. 

This will be one of the campaign slogans for the Democratic candidate Joseph Robinette Biden, Jr.

Today, Joe Biden declared his intention to run for president. The 46th President of the United States is running for reelection. He will face an onslaught of conspiracy theories and attacks on his age and his policies from those extremists on the right and left.

He and running mate Kamala Harris will be subjected to endless speculation about being  replaced. They will be facing attacks from agitators who claim they are hiding from questions. 

Biden-Harris 2024.

It will be a campaign that will hopefully be disciplined and competent. 

He will face primary challenges from conspiracy theorists Marianne Williamson and Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. Both challengers have been amplified by Fox, Russia and the likes of Steve Bannon.

They will face the eventual Republican nominee. It could be Washed Up 45, Nikki Haley, Asa Hutchison, Vivek Ramaswamy and perennial loser Larry Elder.

Also in the mix could be Tim Scott or Ron DeSantis. Scott has an exploratory committee and DeSantis is still on the fence.

The three-minute-plus video hits several campaign themes familiar with Biden’s political rhetoric of late. It’s largely a positive message but does warn of “MAGA extremists [that] are lining up to take on those bedrock freedoms, cutting Social Security that you paid for your entire life while cutting taxes for the very wealthy, dictating what health care decisions women can make. Banning books and telling people who they can love, all while making it more difficult for you to be able to vote.”

Biden, 80 is the oldest serving U.S. President. If he does succeed in a second term, he will be 86 years old. Biden is betting his first-term legislative achievements and more than 50 years of experience in Washington will count for more than concerns over his age. He faces a smooth path to winning his party’s nomination, with no serious Democratic rivals. But he’s still set for a hard-fought struggle to retain the presidency in a bitterly divided nation.

Aides acknowledge that while some in his party might prefer an alternative to Biden, there is anything but consensus within their diverse coalition on who that might be. And they insist that when Biden is compared with whomever the GOP nominates, Democrats and independents will rally around Biden.
