— President Biden (@POTUS) June 19, 2023
“Folks, the impacts we’re seeing in climate change are only going to get more frequent and more ferocious and more costly,” the president declared. He added that the worst thing impacts are not inevitable, and his administration would do all they could to recover and build to adapt.
Biden also boasted that his administration has supported the most significant climate investment law ever. However, even if Biden secures additional campaign funds, that may not be enough to compensate for the weaknesses recent polls have suggested.
The President also devoted some of his two-day-long visit to election fundraising activities, which reflects California’s status as an ATM for Democratic politicians.
Sonoma State University political science professor Dave McCuan spoke with KTVU, explaining that Democrats regard the Golden State as a potential path to regaining their majority next year in the House of Representatives. But unfortunately, the CBS News poll carried out on June 7-10 revealed that only 58% of Democrats think the President should run for re-election.
The survey also detailed that among the 42% who said they did not want him to run again, 45% expressed doubts over his ability to finish another term in office, while another 30% were dissatisfied with how he has been running things thus far. To add insult to injury, a Harvard Caps/Harris survey conducted June 14-15 found that 40% of Americans “strongly disapprove” of Biden’s job performance, while an additional 13% “somewhat disapprove.” It showed Biden trailing former President Donald Trump by six points.
It’s quite clear that Biden is struggling to maintain popularity among Americans, and his rhetoric of climate change and fundraising won’t save him. Only time will tell whether the Democrats will regain their majority in the House of Representatives and whether Biden will run again for the 2024 presidential race.
