Strategic Plans and Unfulfilled Promises: An Inside Look at President Biden’s 2024 Reelection Campaign
In President Joe Biden’s bid for reelection, he has a simple sales pitch for voters – let him “finish the job”. But what exactly does that mean? What’s still left on his to-do list?
Unike his 2024 Republican counterpart, Donald Trump, who has been releasing videos and statements detailing his party agenda for the 2024 election, Biden hasn’t formally released his plan for his campaign. However, Biden’s ambitions for child care, community college, and prescription drugs have been laid out in detail during his first term as a Democrat. His unfulfilled promises on civil rights, as well as enduring pledges to ban firearms known as assault rifles have set a distinct tone for his second-term agenda.
But the lingering question remains, can any of this be achieved without cooperation from Congress? Bipartisan victories on infrastructure projects and public funding for the domestic computer chip industry have been achieved, but democratic majorities in both the House and the Senate are needed to clear a path for the rest of Biden’s plans.
Amidst an already challenging political landscape, Biden’s administration also faces the challenge of defending American democracy, while Trump has tried to overturn his election loss in 2020.
Looking deep into the details, Biden’s expansive plan includes raising taxes on the wealthy and providing social service and healthcare reforms, while weaponry, civil rights, and immigration remain on his radar.
As the election looms closer, it becomes clear that President Biden’s bid for reelection will be a choice between the agendas of the two front runners. But the complex nature of achieving these national goals will require collective decision making and collaboration in ways that are often at odds with strict party lines.
