Democratic Party strategists increasingly fear that President Joe Biden can’t win reelection. Polls show that most Democrats believe he shouldn’t run.

One recent survey has Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg leading both Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris in an early New Hampshire primary test. Nevertheless, the 79-year-old Biden insists he’s running. He believes he can beat Donald Trump, and backing him up is polling showing him leading his predecessor despite his own negative ratings.
