The 2024 presidential race is taking shape following midterm elections that gave an early boost to President Joe Biden and Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, while leaving Donald Trump on the defensive.
Even with ballots still being counted and control of Congress up in the air, the three men quickly took center stage as White House contenders with pressure mounting for each to announce their decisions to run. That could crowd out other potential rivals on both sides.
Biden reiterated Wednesday he intended to seek another term after Democrats fared better than expected in congressional elections, declaring that polls showing most Americans don’t want him to run again will have no bearing on his eventual decision.
