Let’s take a gander at three formidable hurdles that Biden has skillfully conquered on his quest to secure another term in the Oval Office.
First off, this fella named Dean Phillips, a House Democrat from Minnesota, thought he could stir the pot by challenging the incumbent president. Bless his heart, he thought he could snatch some of Biden’s votes in the early primary states, but alas, he landed second in New Hampshire and third in South Carolina. With little to no national recognition, Mr. Phillips has been quite the non-threat, and Biden swiftly put him in his place.
Then there was the hoopla in New Hampshire, where the Democratic National Committee and the traditional early primary states were at odds over the primary calendar. This brouhaha led to Biden’s name not being on the ballot in New Hampshire. But fear not, for Biden’s supporters rallied together and launched a write-in campaign that swept him to victory with a whopping 63.9% of the vote. Talk about an underdog story fit for the history books!
Lastly, the mischievous Sen. Joe Manchin of West Virginia, known for causing headaches to the Biden administration, was toying with the idea of running as a third-party candidate. But after months of speculation, he finally announced he wouldn’t be throwing his hat in the ring. With no high-profile challenger in sight, Biden is steamrolling straight to the match he’s been yearning for – a rematch against former President Donald Trump in the upcoming election.
President Biden is proving himself to be the maestro of political maneuvering. Despite the odds stacked against him, he’s carved a path filled with triumphs and victories. So buckle up, folks, because it’s going to be one fiery showdown come election time.
