Biden: Trump or Haley, I’m unfazed
President Joe Biden
In an engaging statement on Tuesday, President Joe Biden revealed that he has no preference between the two leading Republican candidates vying to challenge him in the 2024 general election.
When asked if he would rather go head-to-head with former President Donald Trump or Nikki Haley, Biden nonchalantly replied, “Oh, I don’t care.”
Biden and Trump are both seeking a second term, which could potentially lead to a rematch of the 2020 election in November. On the other hand, Haley, a former South Carolina governor and U.S. ambassador to the United Nations during the Trump administration, is campaigning for her first term in the White House.

Instead of directly addressing the question, Biden shifted the conversation to the expected announcement of new sanctions against Russia on Friday.
With low approval ratings and concerns about his age (81), Biden’s ability to lead effectively in a second term has been the subject of debate. Meanwhile, Trump and Haley have been actively campaigning in South Carolina, where the GOP primary is scheduled for February 24.
After contests in Iowa, New Hampshire, Nevada, and the Virgin Islands, Trump has secured 63 delegates, while Haley has 17. To secure the nomination, a candidate needs 1,215 delegates.

Haley recently declared that she will remain in the race until at least Super Tuesday in early March.
While Biden is the clear frontrunner for the Democratic Party’s nomination, he still faces some long-shot challenges, including from Rep. Dean Phillips (D-MN). Additionally, Robert F. Kennedy is running as an independent candidate after breaking ties with the Democratic Party over their election process.
