Biden Contemplates Running in 2024 Without Trump in the Race

President Biden suggested that he might not have run for re-election if it weren't for the prospect of Donald Trump attempting to recapture the White House. At a campaign fund-raiser, Biden emphasized his determination to defeat Trump and prevent him from returning to power, portraying a second term for Trump as a threat to American democracy. Despite polls showing that most Democrats prefer another nominee, Biden believes he is best positioned to beat Trump again. He faces long-shot challengers in the Democratic primaries. Trump, who has his own political liabilities, is leading in polls for the Republican nomination. Biden is heading back to the campaign trail after two months focused on the Middle East.
