US President Joe Biden and potential candidate Donald Trump in the 2024 US election
A Wall Street Journal poll found that Americans' approval of Mr. Biden as president is at its lowest level since his term began in 2021. The results are similar to recent polls and raise concerns for Democrats as the 2024 US election approaches.
A poll by The Wall Street Journal found that Mr. Trump leads Mr. Biden by 4 points, specifically 47% to 43%. This is the first time a survey has shown the former US President leading in a direct confrontation with Mr. Biden, according to the prestigious American newspaper.
President Biden's son charged with additional tax evasion
With the addition of five third-party and independent candidates, Mr. Trump widened the gap with Mr. Biden to 6 points, at 37% and 31%.
In addition to concerns about his age, President Biden is facing obstacles related to the case of his son Hunter Biden being prosecuted on nine tax charges in California on December 7.
Meanwhile, Mr. Trump is also facing many legal challenges despite continuously leading the race to become the Republican Party's candidate for president next year.
At a fundraising event in California on December 8, President Biden criticized his predecessor Trump for his actions on January 6, 2021, related to the Capitol riot.
"It's despicable. Just despicable," Biden told a crowd that included California Governor Gavin Newsom and former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, referring to Trump's actions as he stood by and watched as the mob marched on the Capitol and destroyed it, while doing nothing to stop it.
Apart from Mr. Biden, the Democratic Party has no contingency plan for the 2024 US presidential election.
Mr. Biden's speech focused mainly on the topic of Mr. Trump being labeled a threat to democracy, while avoiding mentioning the Hamas-Israel conflict in the Gaza Strip, according to The Guardian on December 10.
