Trump’s decision to jump into the race 2 years before election day sets up one of the longest election cycles in U.S. history, a timetable that forces Biden to be more strategic on when to engage directly with the former president & when to tune him out.
As former President Trump announced his third bid for the White House last month, President Biden was on the other side of the world, convening an emergency meeting of world leaders following reports of explosions on Poland’s border with Ukraine.
Biden’s party, though, is acting as if he is running. It has already begun hiring media operatives in key states. Many people “will define the Republican party and the Republican nominee heading into 2024. It’s not just the nominee.” said Ben LaBolt, a former Obama spokesman who remains close to the White House. “It’ll depend on whether House Republicans will focus on issues that matter to the American people or a bunch of investigations into the administration that the American people have made clear they don’t care about.
The White Housecondemned Trump’s comments about the Constitution and called on Republicans to reject them, seizing on an opportunity to underscore an explicit threat to democracy, aides say. “I don’t think we should underestimate the stickiness of of his base,” LaBolt said. “He has the opportunity to drive a more effective and sustained message but he certainly hasn’t yet.”
Although the White House remains confident about its strategy, political winds shift quickly, Republican strategist Doug Heye said, noting that a year ago Democrats were resigned to the idea that they might lose control of Congress amid party infighting over legislative priorities and following the chaotic U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan.
