President Joe Biden appears all but certain to seek a second term, even if an announcement remains months away.

The Philadelphia speech will come just before the DNC is expected to vote on the 2024 primary calendar, which was revamped to move Biden-friendly South Carolina to pole position.Revamped primary calendar or not, interviewees for this story did not expect Biden to face any high-profile challengers from his own party the way that Jimmy Carter and George H.W. Bush did.
Biden's approval ratings have been stuck in the low 40s for months, yet his biggest liability may be his age. Already the oldest president in history, he'd be 86 years old at the end of a second term. Feehery describes Biden as both the strongest and weakest Democratic candidate. He's strong due to incumbency and a strengthening economy but weak because he's"old and barely sentient and getting worse every day."
