Washington – The president of the United States, Joe Biden, suggested this Tuesday that he would not have launched his re-election campaign for the 2024 elections if former president Donald Trump had not run in those elections.
«If Trump did not appear, I am not sure that I would have presented myself. But we can’t let him win,” Biden said during a private event in Massachusetts to raise money for his campaign.
Biden defeated Trump in the 2020 presidential election, but the Republican never acknowledged his defeat, made false accusations of fraud, and is accused of allegedly instigating the assault on the Capitol when the election results were being certified.
The current president repeatedly warns that the Republican and his most radical followers pose a threat to American democracy.
However, Trump is the great favorite in the primaries to choose the Republican candidate in the 2024 presidential elections, in which he will probably fight again with Biden.
According to the latest polls, the Republican would win the elections in several key states over Biden, who has approval ratings below 40%.
The polls also show concern among the electorate about Biden’s advanced age, 81 years old. If he wins the elections, the Democrat would conclude his second term in 2029 at the age of 86.
Trump, who is 77 years old, would end his term at 82. EFE
