Since confirming his candidacy for the 2024 presidential election, Joe Biden has faced many difficulties and friendly fire.
Hunter Biden a nagging evil
For three years, I have been sporadically interested in the Biden’s run-ins with the law.
Whether it’s his personal life, controversial jobs for which he did not have the skills, his paintings mysteriously bought at high prices or his incomplete tax returns, we tell the rosary of his disappointments wondering how he can still enjoy the paternal blessing.
Whether during the 2020 primaries, the 2022 midterm elections or when we raise him on the subject, Joe Biden reiterated his support for his son. Lately, he is said to be upset.
Hunter Biden recently called on new lawyers whose strategy does not please those around the father. We should soon find out if he will be charged with a crime. Whether he is or not, there will be no outcome without risks for the president.
Opponents are sure to exploit accusations, and if not, they will raise possible interference by Attorney General Merrick Garland.
Manchin and Sinema chief pains
While the negotiations surrounding the budget and the debt ceiling risk weighing down the American economy if we do not agree by June, Joe Biden is once again haunted by two senators with whom he had a disagreement. leave.
Joe Manchin and Kyrsten Sinema have seriously annoyed the president since 2021. While the former is still officially a Democrat, the latter dropped the tag to sit as an independent.
Facing a slim majority of 51 senators, Biden and the Democrats will desperately need the support of at least one of those players.
Both of them are already hinting that they will demand major compromises before coming together, even though the Democratic watchword is to force the Republicans to raise the debt ceiling without giving them anything. grant.
A chance that there is the extreme right
On Sunday, an ABC News/washington post we learned that Joe Biden’s approval rating was 36%. The same poll brings up the question of his age and shows that 63% of voters believe that he does not have the mental acuity necessary to perform his role well.
If Biden does not arouse any enthusiasm, he can still play the card of the reassuring candidate who evokes a certain normality. The recent conviction for seditious conspiracy of four members of the Proud Boys is a reminder of the presence of extremists who have nothing to do with the stability of institutions and this normalcy.
As long as Republicans favor extreme candidates, Biden remains hopeful. Hopefully enough Americans still want normalcy.
