Biden’s team aims to shift focus from president in 2024 race
President Biden’s Team Shifts Focus to Trump’s Record
President Joe Biden’s team is taking a strategic approach for the upcoming 2024 campaign season. Instead of solely focusing on Biden himself, they are pivoting the spotlight onto former President Donald Trump’s embattled record. This shift aims to engage voters by highlighting the potential consequences of another four years under a Trump presidency.
Biden’s Challenges and Trump’s Influence
Biden’s biggest competition within his own party lies in low approval ratings and dissatisfied voters among key demographics. Recent polling shows that Trump is leading Biden in as many as seven swing states and gaining support among young voters, a group that was previously dedicated to the Democratic president.
BIDEN IS DEALING WITH THE WORST BORDER CRISIS EVER. SHOULD THE GOP HELP HIM?
Despite facing a number of high-stakes criminal and civil charges, Trump remains the favorite of the GOP. While his legal troubles have yet to deter members of his own party, Biden’s aides are utilizing his spotty record and criminal allegations to demonstrate the potential consequences of another Trump presidency.
“You have this moment in the first quarter where he is continuing to go full MAGA extremist now in order to shore up support in his own base,” a senior Biden campaign aide told CNN. “While he may be successful in that effort, if we do our job, we’ll point out that everything he’s saying is extreme and unpopular.”
Trump currently faces four criminal indictments and is fighting a civil fraud lawsuit in New York. The outcome of these trials remains uncertain, and Trump could still run for and hold office if convicted, depending on legal contests and state ballot requirements. However, Biden’s team plans to focus on what a second term under Trump would mean for voters, rather than the outcome of his legal cases.
“(Trump) does take up a lot of oxygen right now. But most of that oxygen right now is about the stakes for him – what may or may not happen to Donald Trump, and very little about how that is going to impact the American people,” the senior campaign aide explained. ”We have to make sure it’s about the harm he’s going to inflict on the American people.”

Current polling indicates that Trump is highly likely to win the GOP nomination. Despite his significant lead, other GOP presidential hopefuls are still holding on to hope that one of them could emerge as the new face of the party. Biden’s team stated that if another Republican nominee emerges, they will emphasize the connection to Trump and his party’s “dangerous worldview.”
“There’s zero distance between these folks on the insane and dangerous worldview for which they’re advocating,” the senior campaign aide emphasized. “Our ability to develop a contrast does not change based on who has the nomination at this point.”
How did Trump’s response to the pandemic impact the severity of the crisis in the United States?
D to shift the focus onto Trump’s actions during his presidency. They argue that Trump’s response to the pandemic, his divisive rhetoric, and his controversial policies have had long-lasting negative effects on the country and should not be forgotten.
One of the major challenges for Biden is the immigration crisis at the border. Critics argue that his administration has not done enough to address the surge of migrants trying to enter the country. This issue has become a rallying point for Republicans and has further fueled Trump’s popularity among conservative voters. Biden’s team is now asking whether the GOP should help him resolve the crisis. By framing it this way, they are shining a light on Trump’s failure to address the issue during his tenure and suggesting that the Republicans should take some responsibility for the current situation.
TRUMP’S RESPONSE TO THE PANDEMIC
Another area where Biden’s team is focusing on Trump’s record is his response to the COVID-19 pandemic. They argue that Trump’s downplaying of the virus in the early stages and his administration’s slow response contributed to the severity of the crisis in the United States. By highlighting Trump’s actions, Biden’s team hopes to contrast their own efforts in combating the pandemic and show voters that they can be trusted to handle future health crises more effectively.
A DIVISIVE PRESIDENT
Trump’s divisive rhetoric and actions during his presidency also play a significant role in the Biden team’s strategy. They argue that Trump’s language and behavior have heightened political polarization in the country and have undermined democratic norms and institutions. By highlighting this aspect of Trump’s record, Biden’s team hopes to appeal to moderate voters who are tired of the divisiveness and chaos of the past four years.
CONCLUSION
President Biden’s team’s strategic shift towards focusing on Trump’s record is a calculated move to engage voters and gain support for future elections. By highlighting Trump’s failures and controversial actions, they aim to convince voters that another term under a Trump presidency would have significant consequences for the country. While Biden faces challenges within his own party and among key demographics, his team believes that focusing on Trump’s record will help sway undecided voters and ensure a successful campaign in 2024.
