Joe Biden's Campaign Resurgence
President Joe Biden continues his efforts to regain momentum after a challenging debate against Donald Trump in Atlanta. At a Fourth of July Independence Day party at the White House, Biden declared, “I'm not going anywhere.” His campaign trail led him to Madison, Wisconsin, where he reiterated his commitment to running for a second term. Despite a less enthusiastic turnout compared to Trump's rallies, Biden remained optimistic, stating, “I'm running and I'm going to win again.”
Biden's Strategy and Public Perception
During the Madison rally, Biden aimed to counteract the perception that he is too old to run for a second term. He leveraged the teleprompter to deliver a coherent and energetic speech, attacking Trump by calling him a “convicted felon” and a “one-man crime wave.” Biden emphasized his administration's accomplishments and the importance of defeating Trump to protect democracy. He addressed concerns about his age head-on, jokingly stating, “I look 40,” while seriously affirming his capability to lead.
Trump's Criticism and Speculations
Meanwhile, Donald Trump has been vocal in his criticism of Biden, suggesting that he might be replaced by Vice President Kamala Harris. In a video shared by the Daily Beast, Trump insulted Biden and predicted his resignation, a claim the White House has firmly denied. Trump argued that Harris would be a better opponent, although he criticized her as “bad” and “pathetic.” Despite these speculations, Harris has shown no intention of entering the presidential race and continues to support Biden. Polls indicate Harris is in a better position than Biden but still not winning against Trump.
