Likely not but we can dream. Biden v Trump 2024 is shaping up.According to CNN — President Joe Biden delivered a raucous third State of the Union address, one that could be among the most important speeches he gives during his presidency as he turns toward reelection. His list of objectives was long: Tout his accomplishments in office, look ahead to a second-term agenda, allay concerns about his age and fitness and provide a contrast with Republicans, including his rival Donald Trump. The result was a fiery speech that bore little resemblance to his States of the Union past. Intent on displaying his energy and eager to engage with Republicans, Biden delivered a starkly political speech that his aides hope can ease Democratic jitters about his political prospects.Biggest takeaways according to NPR:He took on Trump extensively on a wide range of policiesReproductive rights are front and center in 2024 campaignBiden made the case for why his economic policies are workingBorder security provoked a GOP response, and blame gameBiden addressed critics on his Mideast policy, stepped up criticism of Israeli leadersElements that President Biden needed to address, according to PBS:The old age question and his vigor for politicsSaving the Middle class in the age of inflation and price of goods increasingHealth care and social security Wait what's a Financial Griot?The Financial Griot is a play on two words (Finance + Griot) that hold significance in closing the wealth gap while embracing our differences.
