Under the motto “Get the job done,” President Joe Biden this week announced his 2024 reelection campaign to lead the United States for a second term. His argument: Democracy is still “seriously threatened” in the country. With the president officially in the race, everything today points to a repeat of the confrontation with former President Donald Trump that took place in 2020. The announcement was made via a televised video that begins with the shocking footage of the attack on the Capitol by a throng of Trump supporters on January 6, 2021. The story then proceeds to expose Republican extremism’s efforts against the country’s fundamental freedoms: cuts in Social Security (the old age pension); lower taxes for the wealthiest; the restriction of women’s right to abortion; the ban on books and gay rights, as well as restrictions on the voice of minorities.

And we still are.” While it’s easy to ignore it, Biden’s great achievement has likely been to restore normalcy to government and civilian life in general. Anti-democratic extremism is still rampant in the country – the result of a four-year descent into chaos and unrest by the former White House resident – but in everyday life there has been a decrease in anxiety levels. Still, Biden’s popularity numbers are not particularly remarkable. The president maintains a high disapproval rate (53.3%) and the approval rate is nine points lower (42.5%) and remains moderate And while it has improved somewhat since the end of July, citizens’ discontent is similar to that of other presidents who have not been re-elected The administration likes to boast its track record of job creation -twelve million jobs-, reducing unemployment to historic levels, confirming the first African-American Supreme Court justice, Ketanji Brown Jackson, and the track record of federally subsidized insurance subscriptions. doctor of Obama Care. Though less visible and despite their limitations, laws about federal protections of same-sex marriage, about gun safety, or about lowering the price of prescription drugs for the elderly – in the case of insulin – have been outrageously increased, forcing many to cut supplies. in Canada, significant progress has been made with a real impact on the lives of the American people. Inflation continues Despite its size, the bailout is not one of the messages chosen by the Democrats. Oil projects. Some of his similarities disappoint young voters and discredit him as president of the primary on climate change? The polls show that he is the only candidate who can win. Conditioned by its fragile majority in Congress, in just two years the administration has succeeded in passing three major legislative projects with significant impact: the Inflation Reduction Act, aimed at promoting clean energy; the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, with major public works renovation projects; and the CHIPS Act, which encourages high-tech manufacturing. But the law that gets too little talk about is the March 2021 $2,000 Million Rescue Plan. A piece of legislation with a Roosevelian tone, which is probably Biden’s most ambitious liberal moment, designed to pull the country out of the economic and health catastrophe caused due to the pandemic. This law, which received little publicity, marked the radical expansion of social programs, such as unemployment benefits or child tax credits, in addition to channeling hundreds of billions of dollars in grants to state and local governments to fund projects across the country. Significantly, despite the scope and achievements of recent years, the bailout seems to be out of the Democratic public message. The discretion is due to the administration’s fears of continued inflation, aware of the still precarious legislative precedence it has in Congress. The Importance of Convincing the South Pacific Islands The President of the United States arrives in Papua New Guinea on May 22 to meet the 18 leaders of the South Pacific Islands in a forum that will also be attended by the Prime Ministers of Australia and New Guinea. Zealand. The occasion will be historic as it marks the first time a sitting US president has visited the country in over a century. Biden’s intention is to strengthen diplomatic and possibly economic ties with the small nations scattered across this part of the ocean that have taken on unexpected value in the US-China clash. In fact, the White House wants to attract these islands which, while previously occupying a marginal diplomatic space, have now acquired a high strategic role for the two powers that control the Pacific. On the other hand, Biden has failed in his immigration policies. Recent federal water auctions for the extractive industry in the Gulf of Mexico, as well as the approval of an Alaskan oil project, have further disillusioned young voters and significantly discredited him as the “climate change” president he claims to be. The generational issue In foreign policy, the Democratic leader and his team have brought a newfound seriousness to the international arena, where the US has been absent in the Trump era. In just two years in office, Biden has led one of the most intense phases of global reordering change in decades. Despite mistakes such as the disastrous exit from Afghanistan in 2021 or the lack of trade expansion deals, his government has expanded new alliances – the military AUKUS, with Australia and the United Kingdom – and consolidated old ones, in addition to re-engaging the country in global efforts to in the field of climate policy and other cooperation issues. Many of these efforts are focused on Ukraine. Biden has focused on getting Washington to lead the massive front to stop Russia in Europe’s most terrifying war since 1945, and to consolidate a bloc of alliances to counter China’s growing commercial dominance and military aggressiveness in Indo-Pacific Checkers. But everything has its risks. Although it maintains communication channels with the Kremlin to send warnings about the consequences of a possible use of tactical nuclear weapons, the relationship between the United States and Russia is otherwise volatile and unpredictable.

If reelected, he will be 86 at the end of his second term, nearly nine years older than Ronald Reagan was when he left the White House in 1989. Democrats hoped Biden would succumb to a younger candidate this time. But despite limited vitality, Biden has always maintained that he would run again. The lack of another Democratic candidate with the ability to win national elections makes him the only viable option. However, and despite a tradition of not challenging party members already in office, two Democrats have announced their candidacy for president: Robert F. Kennedy Jr., son of the iconic slain senator, and now steeped in the world of the anti-vaccine conspiracy; and Marianne Williamson, the self-help author whose 2020 campaign failed before the first votes were cast. None will survive the first months of the campaign. A very eventful mandate Evacuation from Kabul. | The raiders are taking over the halls of the Capitol. | Zelensky, with Biden. AFP and EFE Afghanistan Possibly Joe Biden’s biggest ballast in international politics bears the name of Afghanistan. The sudden withdrawal of US troops in August 2021 facilitated recapture by the Taliban, who reached Kabul within days and took control of the country. The footage of international rescue planes taking off in a chaotic evacuation was devastating to the president. Capitol Never before in contemporary history has an American president faced an attack like the one on January 6, 2021, when an extremist mob stormed the Capitol to protest the defeat of Donald Trump. Biden has had to strike a good balance to ease the hangover from those traumatic events in the US conscience. He has lowered social tensions and encouraged research into the uprising. His idea that democracy is still “at risk” motivates him to return to take on the Republican tycoon. Covid. Another challenge has been to try to mitigate the economic crisis of the pandemic, which is still in effect, and accelerate the health campaigns in favor of the mask or vaccine that turned Republicans into a workhorse. Ukraine Biden will participate in the election race in the shadow of war if Vladimir Putin and Volodimir Zelensky do not come to a peace agreement sooner. A staunch defender of Kiev, he is convinced that if he loses the election, the Republicans will drastically cut aid to the invaded country.
