Biden's Pragmatic Leadership Style Emphasizes Unity and Deal-Making.

President Joe Biden is framing his potential 2024 re-election campaign as a referendum on competence and governance, highlighting his approach of pragmatism over Trumpian pugilism. His recent bipartisan debt limit and budget legislation agreement with House Speaker Kevin McCarthy and other Republicans exemplifies this approach. However, his low approval rating among Democrats and concerns about his age as the oldest person to ever seek the presidency may pose challenges. Despite criticisms from some in his own party, the White House sees the agreement as a success that protects Biden's priorities and gives them "running room" through the 2024 election.
