2:02 pm
many presidents in biden's position will be considered a shoe in for re election, but there are a number of things which could stand in his way. the w, i mean a thief has this report room, joe biden is taking his claim to be president wants to go. but we have more to do. he used his state of the union address to lay out a preview of his message to congress and voters. america is on the rebound. we have to do better. biden has been trying to project an image of strength and action. i'm happy to report that our economy has created over 300000 new jobs last month. and that's on top of a half 1000000 jobs. we had a month before abroad making the prize trip to here to mark one year since rushes invasion and delivering a speech in poland to assure steadfast us support. our support for grade will not waiver name will not be divided and we will not hire biden has also been on the
2:03 pm
road here touting his economic plan in wisconsin here, celebrating a bridge project funded in part by his infrastructure plan. and here at the church in georgia where martin luther king junior ones preached appealing to voters. observers say biden believes he's on a role, especially after some important bipartisan victories last year. like the inflation reduction act, allocating hundreds of billions of dollars on climate and energy policy, and the chips legislation for booth semiconductor manufacturing in the us. yet despite those successes, president biden is facing some serious headwinds on his path to secure a 2nd term, including most recently the controversy over his handling of classified documents. biden's lawyers found classified materials from his time as vice president triggering a special investigation and drawing comparisons to the scandal over the trib documents found in donald trump. he's also pretty unpopular biden's,
2:04 pm
mid term approval ratings matched former president trump, at the same stage of his presidency, but they were lower than president obama. and then there's his age. he's already the oldest president and us history. if you want a 2nd term, he'd be $86.00 by the end of it. the republicans will do all they can to exploit the weaknesses, to portray him as corrupt, unpopular and old. even some from his own party or worried. this ad featuring democrats from new hampshire, called on joe biden, to make way for a candidate with better chances for 2024. we can't afford to lose a dollar. i don't run joe, don't run joe, don't run joe biden. and his team say he's already proven his detractors wrong, and that he and the democrats are a picture of unity and progress compared with a deeply divided republican party. the key test, who he will faith. it's not clear yet who will run for the republican, but biden will have a grueling path back to the white house. haylock his name is l correspondent in
2:05 pm
washington d. c. mikaela biden's announcement wasn't unexpected. was it? but why did he choose to make it now? actually that is an interesting question and there were many betz going on here in d. c, whether he would wait it out, wait even longer trying push this potentially even after the debt ceiling route that he currently has with the republicans here. we needs to raise the dent sitting so the us doesn't default on its own debt. he's chosen this moment in time . speculation here is the big donors are lining up money ready now, and he has no illusions that he will need plenty of money for what is expected to be a re run of a. so down between him and donald trump. so what are the poll saying about his chances? i mean, as we've been, simon, he's already 80 years old. after a 2nd term, he'd be $86.00. yes,
2:06 pm
a lot of criticism is focusing on the whole age question. donald trump, himself is $76.00, though it's not that terribly much younger. at the same time, you see here a lot of concerns whether he can actually get through a campaign. one has to bear in mind that the 1st campaign he ran against on term was under pandemic conditions. a lot of the campaigning was to be done via video. it was out of his own basement in his home in delaware. now this is going to be a different campaign. he is the, the president no longer just the vice president in the past. he is actually going to fulfill that job and be out on the campaign trail. that's what a lot of concern focuses on at the same time. now that he's gone ahead and declared, you can expect those critics to completely be silenced. there are no illusions in the democratic camp that it will take one line full backing of do by that this
2:07 pm
moment in time to once again potentially beat donald trump, who is leading the field on the republican side by but by no means dominated already. i did just want to ask you because there are 2 other candidates running for the democratic nomination, but they really don't stand a chance against biden. do they not really. and one of them is a kennedy. he's pretty much going on the name of greater politicians. the other one is virtually unheard of the international. they are not expected to really have much of a chance. the real contenders, like gavin newsome, the governor of california who was expected to potentially run what he already said . if they're buying this money, he won't even entertain that very idea. and that's expected pretty much across the board. so we don't really expect any serious movement there. it will be more interesting on the republican side where you have
2:08 pm
a serious contenders there. so this is by no means already made do well again, although the wide expectation is that we are likely to see a re run and some already talking of the most boring primary season in history. but at the same time, pointing to the fact that this could, again be the most important one, because as joe biden is framing, this is from this as a fight for freedom. interesting, donald trump is pretty much doing the same in joe biden. sees this as a fight for democracy, and that's also why he argues that he hasn't finished his job and that he wants, feels he wants to secure democracy in the united states and the freedom of individuals, of women's rights to an abortion also of lesbians and gays, everybody to be included in what is his idea of a free america and trying to find the democrats as the only ones who can secure
