According to a report in TIME Magazine, former President Barack Obama has met with President Joe Biden twice since June 2023. In these two meetings, Obama warned Biden that if Biden didn’t redirect his election campaign, Trump’s electoral victory would be certain in the November 2024 presidential election.
Inside sources have reported that in the June meeting, Barack Obama advised President Biden that he should do better in the election campaign. President Biden should take a more aggressive approach and direct his campaign more toward his rival, Trump, rather than promoting his own agenda.
In December, the former President of the Democratic Party, Barack Obama, returned for another meeting with President Biden. Obama again emphasized that Biden should direct his election campaign according to the Democratic approach. And if not, Trump will indeed cruise to victory in the 2024 Presidential Election.
Besides this, Obama highlighted the need to expand the field operations that were behind schedule. He criticized Biden for only listening to advisors in his immediate circle and advised that Biden broaden the circle of his political advisors. These warnings and advice came due to Trump’s performance in the Republican Primaries and recent polls.
“He expressed concern the re-election campaign was behind schedule in building out its field operations and bottlenecked by Biden’s insistence on relying upon an insular group of advisers clustered in the West Wing, according to the same Democratic insider,” TIME reported.
In the Republican Primaries, Trump faced little competition in the form of South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley. But Nikki didn’t even manage to defeat Trump in her home state. After this, Trump was way ahead of Biden in almost every research poll. In a Bloomberg News Poll recently, Trump was leading Biden in six out of seven key swing states. Obama reportedly stated that defeating Trump in this election would be really tough for President Biden.
The recent Raba Research Survey asked the residents of Arizona State: “Suppose the election for President were held today—for whom would you vote? Democrat Joe Biden or Republican Donald Trump?”
The results showed that 39 percent of the people supported Trump, whereas Biden was behind, with 36 percent of the people supporting him. Remember, Arizona has remained a key swing state for many election cycles and will remain so in this year’s election. Trump leading Biden in Arizona means that the Biden administration has to change its approach towards its election campaign. Otherwise, former President Donald Trump would quickly make his way to the White House in the current situation.
Even some Democrats think that President Biden hasn’t learned anything from the past. Biden wants to run this year’s election campaign with a similar strategy that he used in the 2020 election. But some Democrats think the 2024 Trump is different from the 2020. It is highly unlikely that Biden would gain any victory with the same strategy against today’s Trump.
In short, in the coming election, it is becoming clearer and clearer for voters to choose whether they want Biden or Trump in the White House again. One thing is for sure — voters will have to choose between an incumbent candidate influenced by handlers and a returning challenger ready to challenge the establishment status quo once again.
