Description
A pair of fresh stories out this morning illuminate two emerging
storylines in the early jockeying for the 2024 campaign …
White House aides tell us that President Joe Biden is likely to announce
a final decision on the 2024 reelection in the coming weeks. And as he
gears up for a likely reelection, he appears to be shimmying back to the
ideological middle (an easy move when there’s no real primary
challenge).
And, our Olivia Beavers spoke with (nearly) every Republican of the
Florida congressional delegation to see which Florida Man they plan on
supporting in the 2024 GOP primary: former President Donald Trump or
Gov. Ron DeSantis, who has yet to officially announce a bid.
The members are torn over what to do. They fear Trump’s wrath, worry
about retaliation against those he sees as disloyal and fret about the
long-term need to get closer to DeSantis, who is three decades younger
than Trump and has a much longer runway ahead of him.
