Biden Hones Policy Themes for Re-election Effort

“President Biden is weeks, perhaps even months, away from a formal announcement on his 2024 campaign. But the building blocks of his pursuit of a second-term bid are coming into fuller view,” the Wall Street Journal reports.

“Mr. Biden’s speech in Springfield, Va., on Thursday offered the latest preview of how he intends to point to the nation’s re-emergence from Covid-19, a resilient economy and his role as a check against the agenda of Republicans who hold a majority in the House. Key donors are preparing a fundraising blitz later this spring.”

“Top aides, meanwhile, are assembling a campaign staff, with decisions expected to be made after the Feb. 7 State of the Union address, according to people familiar with the process. A formal announcement is expected between early March and early April, aides say.”
