The Washington Examiner’s Tiana Lowe discussed “concern in Bidenworld” over his running for reelection in 2024, which the president said “remains to be seen” in an interview that aired Sunday.
“Look, my intention, as I said to begin with, is that I would run again. But it’s just an intention,” Biden said during an interview on CBS News’s 60 Minutes. “Is it a firm decision that I run again? That remains to be seen.”

“There has been a lot of concern in Bidenworld around people trying to position him as a lame-duck president,” Lowe told host Neil Cavuto on Fox News’s Your World. “Early on, especially his chief of staff, Ron Klain, has tried to tamp down on the idea that it would be anyone else but Biden at the top of the ticket.”
She further explained that some Democrats are eager for their chance at the White House and may not be willing to wait. Lowe pointed to “governors like Gavin Newsom buying ads in Florida,” which she noted “just so happens to be the home state of not just another potential 2024 rival, Ron DeSantis, but also a swing state.”
“The real question is, do Democrats come to see Biden’s anemic polling numbers, which have only slightly rebounded, as a specific attribute of Biden —him being old, of him doing unpopular things — or about the Democratic policies in general?” she asked.

“So if Biden’s the more moderate alternative in 2024, as he was in 2020, does that mean that any other successor to him would have anything higher than what this low 40s approval ceiling, which has become the standard for him?” Lowe further questioned.
