Biden has already told leading Democrats that he intends to run again in 2024, but his administration increasingly fears that he is already doomed to be a one-term president as crises continue to spiral out of control.
Biden struggles with the fact that he isn’t a popular president
When the Biden administration succeeded the Trump administration it was sold as a return to “normalcy” and steady leadership in American politics.
Instead, Biden’s approval ratings have only gotten lower and lower since he took office, and he is now significantly less popular than Trump was at this point in his term four years ago.
Trump, however, always had a sizable and extremely loyal base of support that trusted his leadership even if Democrats were fanatically opposed.
Republican opposition to Biden is no less impassioned, but the president lacks anything resembling the core support that President Trump could always count on to keep his approval ratings from crashing to the floor.
The worst news for Biden isn’t that Republicans and independents oppose him, it’s that support among Democrats is lukewarm at best for the most part.
Biden has no strong core of loyal supporters, having been nominated because he wasn’t Bernie Sanders and elected because he wasn’t Donald Trump.
Staffers trade blame
The White House can expect approval ratings to go on plummeting; despair and pessimism has reportedly become overwhelming.
Biden’s staffers keep a tight leash on the president for obvious reasons, but he is said to have been furious when he realized that his cadre of yes-men had misled him about how damaging the infant formula shortage would be to his reputation.
First Lady Jill Biden has complained that aides are not giving her husband a chance to endear himself to the American people, but the White House continues to keep him far away from cameras and questions whenever possible.
Those who wish to unleash the president believe that he could assuage some of the damage being inflicted by inflation and shortages by showing off his personality.
That approach, when tested, has not worked so far. Biden’s rare public appearances are usually semi-coherent and unremarkable, whereas Trump could always grab headlines even in his least popular moments.
The White House may feel frustrated about the fact that Biden is being blamed for everything that’s bad under his presidency, but beyond quietly seething there is not much the president can do about it unless the economy improves on its own by some miracle.
