Election campaign will look very different
The 2024 election campaign will look very different for Joe Biden than during his last candidacy. As incumbent president, he will have to balance his job of leading the country with his efforts to win over voters. He is likely to point to his achievements over the past two years, including key infrastructure and climate legislation, designed to prove he is up to the task.
Biden will be doing very differently this time around for another reason too: Because of the Covid-19 pandemic, the President has been campaigning for much of his 2020 election practically from his home in Delaware. This time he will again be at major events and campaign stops across the country to shake hands with voters.
