Why questions about Biden's 2024 plans will make it harder for Democrats to win
CNN
Joe Biden is less than a year into his presidency and already his party is fractured over the question of whether he will -- or should -- run again in 2024.
"Biden and aides tell allies he is running in 2024 amid growing Democratic fears," reads the headline of a Washington Post story detailing the machinations over whether the 79-year-old President is, in fact, planning to run again.
(My favorite part of the Post story is that after assurance after assurance that Biden is in fact running, they drop this quote: "One Democrat involved in campaigns said they couldn't think of a single person they had spoken to in the last month who considers the possibility of Biden running again to be a real one.")
When Kenyan President William Ruto touched down in Beijing seven months ago, he was welcomed on the tarmac with a red carpet and cordons of Chinese troops standing at attention. Among the goals of his three-day state visit in October: Securing another $1 billion in loans from China to help complete infrastructure projects.
