The US President has warned of dire consequences should Donald Trump emerge victorious from any potential rematch in 2024.
Future Democratic presidential prospects are taking steps to strengthen their national profiles as they fan out across America to help President Joe Biden’s re-election campaign.
Mr Biden, who turns 81 in November, would be 86 at the end of a second term should he be successful in 2024. And California governor Gavin Newsom was the Biden campaign’s surrogate during the second Republican presidential debate this week – and he has agreed to a one-on-one debate against a top Republican presidential contender.
The campaign is also launching a spree of advertising with the Democratic National Committee. The push includes a months-long, 25 million dollar digital and television blitz focused on issues ranging from the administration’s economic policies to efforts to protect abortion rights.
The conversation among Democrats is blunter in private. On the sidelines of a recent meeting of the National Governors Association in New Hampshire, several senior Democratic aides were overheard by a reporter discussing the type of candidate who could stand in for Mr Biden if needed.
