Biden team works to finalize reelection plans as polls show tepid support for a 2024 bid
CNNApr 20, 2023
The Facts
US Pres. Joe Biden's team has reportedly picked Julie Chavez Rodriguez, director of the White House Office of Intergovernmental Affairs and 2020 deputy campaign manager, to manage the president's 2024 re-election campaign.
While the decision was reportedly confirmed by two anonymous sources, the appointment hasn't been finalized and the president hasn't officially declared his run. Rodriguez also worked in the Obama White House and has served in the Biden admin. since June 2022.
The Spin
Left narrative
Biden's campaign is moving quickly to finalize staffing for a robust 2024 run. Biden's age, as his advisers continue to project, merely shows his experience. Rodriguez, poised to oversee the campaign, has seen her star rise in the White House and has become part of the small circle of the president's most-trusted advisers.
Right narrative
As Biden prepares to re-run for election, there isn't a single poll that suggests he's in a good position. Inflation, border issues, increases in crime, and the decrease in the value of education have made it clear that Biden simply doesn't deserve a second term. The reality of approval ratings lower than Trump — the man Biden himself called the worst president in history — highlights the poor current state of the Biden administration.
Nerd narrative
There is a 44% chance that Joe Biden will be elected as US President in 2024, according to the Metaculus prediction community.
