President Joe Biden arrives to board Air Force One on Tuesday, March 5, 2024, in Hagerstown, Maryland. The President is traveling to Washington, D.C., starting with Thursday night’s State of the Union address — the biggest chance Biden will get to impress voters before the Democratic National Convention in August.
“The concerns around his age are reinforced by the perception voters haven’t heard of anything he’s accomplished,” said Navin Nayak, the executive director of the Center for American Progress Action Fund. “And that feeds into the story that MAGA and Republicans want to tell, that he’s not able to do the job.”
Trump, meanwhile, has promised to counterprogram the State of the Union as he looks to press his advantages over Biden on key issues, including the economy and immigration. After the State of the Union, the Biden campaign plans a tour of swing states. The president is set to campaign in Pennsylvania and Georgia this weekend. This will be the start of a long effort to improve his political standing.Deiseroth and Data for Progress originally ran the numbers on how many voters recognized Biden’s achievements six months ago, only to see the conflict in Gaza eat up most of the nation’s political attention.
