During a gaggle with reporters on Monday, Biden conceded that he hasn&#8217;t &#8220;been able to keep up with&#8221; all the 2024 developments on the GOP side, but he contended that there were a lot of \u201ccompetent candidates who are trying to get the nomination.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3>What 2024 GOP Candidates Have Said on Tax Policy<\/h3>\n<p>Although he did not single out Trump during the gaggle, Biden has bashed his predecessor in the past for being unfit to serve as president and decried many of his policies as extreme. Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL) and Sen. Tim Scott (R-SC) both entered the 2024 GOP primary last week.
