During Tuesday, US President Joe Biden, 80, announced that he will stand in the presidential election in 2024. A reasonable choice by the Democrats according to US expert Andreas Utterström. – Unfortunately, Biden is probably the best candidate if you want to win the election. With the announcement, Joe Biden wrote a piece of American history. At 80, he will become the oldest US president ever to run for re-election. Now there is a great possibility that, like in 2020, he will be pitted against Donald Trump. Sad, thinks Utterström. – I think it is rather depressing that they are both 156 years old together, have their best days behind them and above all are quite visionless. If it turns out that it is these two who meet each other, I think there will be very little talk about the big questions and challenges that the United States is facing and a lot of pie-throwing and nonsense. Although many Democrats do not support Biden, the party is rallying behind him. Although in theory there are a couple of reasonable contenders. – Even if you think that Biden has his best days behind him, I think that many people who don’t like Trump will vote for basically anyone who is an alternative. Just like in 2020, Biden is running alongside Vice President Kamala Harris. A person many had high hopes for, but who has not delivered, Utterström thinks. – There were high hopes for Kamala Harris. She has an appearance that many seem to be provoked by. Like a whiny guest at a restaurant who complains about the food. He also points out that she was given a thankless task by President Biden. – She has been given a portfolio of responsibilities, such as for example the border with Mexico, which is impossible to solve. Biden should have given her other assignments so she could show success and show the voters. Now if it had been her turn to take over. Watch clips in the player below:
