President Joe Biden was hoping to underscore his record with the public before announcing a highly anticipated reelection campaign.
But declared and undeclared Republican presidential candidates, including former President Donald Trump, are hogging the political spotlight as the 2024 primary enters the spring, though not always to Biden's disadvantage.Biden acting presidential compared to"the dumpster fire engulfing the Republican Party" is a proverbial political split-screen"I’d take any day of the week," according to former White House principal deputy press secretary Eric Schultz.
"The journalists who ask if Biden is going to get drowned out are the same journalists breathlessly covering Donald Trump wall-to-wall," he said. But fellow strategist Mark Mellman disputed the assumption Biden is not commanding the public's attention, despite the White House taking advantage of preplanned trips across the country to attract local news coverage while national and international outlets were focused on Trump's indictment.
For Duke University Polis Center Director Mac McCorkle, Biden's trip to semiconductor manufacturer Wolfspeed in Durham, North Carolina, to launch his"Investing in America Tour" and discuss his economic agenda was not"buried," but he did recall MSNBC leading with Trump's potential indictment instead. "Plenty of bad news now: inflation, possible decline of [the] economy, massive intel breach, etc.," he said."Ducking coverage in 2023 [is] probably better than having headlines on bad news."
