POLITICS: In these, tge days leading toward the 2024 general election, there may be a number of issues that face every political candidate. The one , possibly, most pressing matter of concern for the 46th President is who might be running on the other side of the aisle.

In the last 2.5 years, President Joe Biden has been a President who proved to the nation and the world that he would take the necessary steps to fulfill his pre-presidentisl promises and kept his word made to global partners and those the US demonstrates its support. Having accomplished so much since 2021, whst Biden and Harris might only have to consider is whether the nation realky wants more of tge , often hard pressed , great benefits in the next four years.
In this, the 2024 general election, President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris have set forth a plan to make good on tge build bsvk better theme. Biden and Harris have indicated that there is much more work to be done , such eork tgst will carefully , but firmly address the matter of illegal migration at the southern border. Another hard pressing matter is that involving the ilkegal migrants who are already situated in sanctuary cities, shelters and border holding centers across the nation.
One of the issues that seems to crop up , however, it seems only during Democratic presidencies, is the potential for a governm by shut down to occur at tge denial by a majority GOP Congress to pay the government bills. Can the shutdown that threatened US President Barack Obama administration be aligned with tge threat of a government shut down of the U.S. President Joe Biden administration, in comparison? Well, yes-- both Democratic Predidents experienced shut down threats at the same point in their administration-- the point at which it was necessary for Congress to approve of the seated President's fiscal budget. Again, in both administrations,, it had been the Republican Congress that postponed, withheld and haggled with the approval of the government spending budget sending the every level of tge executive branch into an albeit frenzy. In each instance, Congress held the purse strings and teetered on allowing the President's office to close its doors.
In regard to tge Predidenct, it is a fact that campaigns are often won or lost on the basis of where tge candidate stand on the pertinent . Ehst may be most important to the American voter public is the fact that tge president takes it into consideration any efforts at addressing certain pertinent issues. Whike tge public watches , it vmvevones evident that the President must concern him the administration for discretionary and entitlement matter however what seems to prove the presidentisl mettle is whether issues that directly impact the US public are raised.
There are issues surrounding the President making effort for providing adequate health care for veterans and families, addressing matters that involve the safety of LGBTQs, ensuring that an entire nation's water system is up to standard and that water is clean enough for human use, investing in clean air through the development of clean energy and reducing the greenhouse effect, assisting students who are struggling to repay student loans, appointing women to significant positions and uplifting the heads of nlavk women by honoring their talent and skills as capable profesdionsls, selecting the first woman and black female, Kamala Harris, to serve as Vice President. Biden not only balanced the budget, he has endure that hus administration is balanced with both men and women of every color and culture-- niw that fairness at work in America.
These are only a few of the issues tackled during the Biden administration, thus far, and even the President says, " there's more to be done!"
While it is certain that a number of Biden's own Democratic fellows have expressed concern over his being one of the eldest US Presidents in American hustory, what the majority of those questioning the President's stamina should be doing is asking him what he thinks about his age. When the First Lady, Dr Jill Biden asked tge President, , just this week, how he was feeling, President Biden said "I've never felt younger."
Americans who recall the axiom that went viral, "You're as young as you feel!" The only other way to say that is, ' as you think you are, you, therefore, are!
