All or nothing for Joe Biden in 2024

The recent outing of President Biden to a church, while not out of the ordinary, may be interpreted as a sign of his faith in the face of a potentially tumultuous 2024 presidential election.

With the possibility of facing Donald Trump again looming, the outcome of which remains uncertain given the possibility of Trump's conviction and imprisonment or his exclusion from certain states' primary ballots.

Recently, President Biden responded to Trump’s incendiary Christmas message calling 'Crooked Joe Biden' and his other political opponents to 'rot in hell', with a verse from the Bible that says to 'love one’s enemies' and teaches tolerance and compassion towards one’s adversaries.



 

Currently, Trump holds a significant lead in the Republican primary compared to the other GOP presidential contenders, per RealClearPolling.com.

President Biden's poll numbers suggest that he is not enjoying strong support for a second term, even amongst his party members.

While his presidency has had its ups and downs, Biden’s lack of legal troubles is a positive compared to his GOP counterpart Trump.

However, he must address concerns amongst his voter base if he is to secure a second term as POTUS in the upcoming US general elections in November 2024.

In the meantime, the incumbent is enjoying a quaint vacation to round off a tumultuous 2023.
