- Biden’s Candid Admission: Unsure About Reelection Without Trump in 2024 Race
- Media Outlets Warn of Threats in a Second Trump Term, Echoed by Biden
- Trump Responds on Truth Social: Labels Biden the “Real Dictator” amid Legal Woes
In an intriguing twist to the 2024 election narrative, President Biden openly mused about his candidacy, stating uncertainties regarding seeking reelection if his Republican rival, Donald Trump, was not in the race.
During a campaign fundraiser in Weston, Massachusetts, the 81-year-old Democrat candidly shared, “If Trump wasn’t running, I’m not sure I’d be running. But we cannot let him win.” Biden underscored the urgency of preventing a Trump comeback, praising the “powerful voice” of former Republican lawmaker Liz Cheney. She had warned that the United States could be “sleepwalking into dictatorship” if Trump secured a second term.
Media outlets, including the Atlantic, Washington Post, and New York Times, raised alarms about potential threats posed by a second Trump term. Biden referenced their concerns, emphasizing the need for vigilance in the face of what he described as Trump’s increasingly extreme language on the campaign trail.
During a separate fundraiser in Boston, Biden drew historical parallels, stating that Trump’s rhetoric, including calling opponents “vermin,” echoed language used in 1930s Germany when Adolf Hitler’s Nazis were on the rise.
“Trump’s not even hiding the ball anymore. He’s telling us what he’s going to do,” Biden asserted.
Upon returning to Washington, reporters pressed Biden about his candidacy without Trump as an opponent. “He is running, and I have to run,” Biden asserted, dispelling any notions of stepping back if Trump were to drop out.
Despite facing calls from some Democrats for a new candidate due to concerns about his age, Biden affirmed his commitment to defending American democracy in the upcoming election. Meanwhile, Trump, facing legal challenges, responded via his Truth Social network, branding Biden as the “real dictator.”
As the political landscape intensifies, the 2024 election remains a focal point, with Biden navigating uncertainties and asserting his determination to face any scenario.
