Original caption: When asked if he would prepare for re-election as soon as possible, Biden avoided answering: he will not become a lame jerk.
(Observer Network News) On the 22nd local time, the President-elect of the United States, Biden, gave a speech before Christmas, expressing his views on the United States epidemic, the Congressional Aid Act and cyber attacks. When asked if he would start preparing for re-election as soon as possible, he avoided answering, saying that he would not become a “pathetic” president.
According to “Capitol Hill,” a journalist mentioned that Trump plans to “come back” four years later and file a presidential re-election request in January next year. He asked if Biden was “concerned about Trump’s influence.” Scattered “.
Biden laughed before the reporter finished asking: I won’t be a lame jerkBiden started laughing before finishing his words. The journalist then asked him if he would consider submitting the same campaign request early next year, “proving that he will not become a boorish president?”
Biden responded with a smile.“I won’t be a lame duck, just look at me.”He said he did not care about his political future, but was focused on working in the years ahead to improve the lives of ordinary Americans. “I want to convey to all Americans what I hope they understand. This (president-elect) is about them, not me.”
“A lame duck” refers to a public official who loses power because his term is about to expire. The journalist said her question was only an inference and, in context, the “lame duck” seemed to imply that Biden would only be president for one term and either voluntarily drop his re-election bid or lose to Trump after four years. However, Biden did not explicitly answer whether he will prepare for re-election as soon as possible.
In early 2017, Trump began his re-election preparations four years later, the day he assumed the presidency, with the slogan “Keep America Great Again.” However, this situation is not common, both Bush and Obama did not prepare for reelection until their third year in office.
When asked if he thought the political climate after Trump’s resignation would be different than before, Biden replied “uncertain” and “future unpredictable.” He revealed that through conversations with some current Republican leaders, both sides know each other very well. “They know that I will not deceive them … I will not use all means to create shame.”
When the results of the November 4 US general election were yet to be released, Edward Luce, the Washington bureau chief of the Financial Times, once remarked that Biden “may be a loutish president.” He said the unprecedented high turnout of the two parties has just shown that the United States is divided. “Supporters on both sides don’t want the other to win.”
Luce believes that Biden will face two irreconcilable forces when he takes office: staunch Trump supporters and resentful Democrats. Coupled with the fact that the Senate majority is still undecided, it can do very little on issues like health insurance reform, clean energy and the nomination of Supreme Court justices.
The Financial Times once assessed after the election that Biden faces the risk of becoming a “lame duck” during his tenure, but it does not imply whether he will be re-elected.On December 15, Senate Republican Leader McConnell announced his congratulations to Biden on being elected president after the Electoral College vote. Trump, who has less than a month left in office, has yet to admit defeat and plans to continue challenging the election results early next year at the national accounting stage. McConnell called on Republicans to drop this plan.
