The Biden campaign is reportedly looking to put Trump back in the spotlight in an effort to make a potential 2024 general election matchup more about the former president than the current president, according to the New York Times.
The report suggests Democrats are pushing for more coverage of his rallies and more headlines from the former president, who has relegated most of his social media postings to Truth Social, skipped the first three GOP debates, and has held few campaign rallies. Trump not being in the White House, and not having the constant coverage a commander in chief receives, has also hurt enthusiasm for the unpopular current president.
“Not having the day-to-day chaos of Donald Trump in people’s faces certainly has an impact on how people are measuring the urgency of the danger of another Trump administration,” Adrianne Shropshire, the executive director of BlackPAC, told the New York Times. “It is important to remind people of what a total and absolute disaster Trump was.”
