Joe Biden Reflects on Possible 2024 Victory over Trump
In an exclusive interview, President Biden contemplates his chances of defeating Donald Trump in a hypothetical re-election scenario while discussing his future and possible pardons.
In a candid conversation with USA Today, President Joe Biden expressed his belief that he could have won re-election against Donald Trump, although he questioned his stamina for another term at the age of 86. The 82-year-old President reflected on his interactions with Trump, mentioning pre-emptive pardons for Trump critics like former Congresswoman Liz Cheney and Dr. Anthony Fauci, a plan he feels may hinge on Trump's future cabinet choices. While he noted Trump did not oppose his idea of pardons, Biden recalled Trump being complimentary about his economic record during their previous meeting following the election. Despite the challenges surrounding his age and the consequent scrutiny from the Democratic party, Biden maintained that he was confident in his potential to win against Trump, indicating that polling suggested he stood the best chance for victory during Trump's re-election campaign. His comments come amidst a media environment where access to Biden has been tightly regulated, with the president granting very few interviews or press conferences since his withdrawal from the race in July. Moreover, Biden faced criticism for his decision to pardon his son, Hunter Biden, who faced serious legal issues. As speculation continues about the 2024 elections and Biden's future, his thoughts present a mix of confidence and uncertainty about the political landscape ahead.
