Former Secretary Of State Hillary Clinton forecasted a victory for Joe Biden in a potential 2024 presidential rematch against Donald Trump.
What Happened: Clinton expressed her confidence in Biden’s reelection during a virtual session at the Bloomberg New Economy Forum in Singapore.
“I believe Joe Biden will be the nominee. I believe he will be reelected,” Clinton stated.
Despite ongoing political turbulence, she also predicted the likely nomination of Trump as the Republican candidate. "It still looks likely that Donald Trump will be the Republican nominee. I know that's hard for people to believe with everything going on, but that seems to be the likely outcome."
Clinton suggested that the general electorate is longing for “regular order again” and moving away from “chaos and drama.” This sentiment, she said, was reflected in the recent US election results.
Why It Matters: Recent polls have shown Biden lagging behind Trump in key battleground states, with concerns about the president’s age and economic stewardship causing some trepidation among voters.
However, Democratic optimism has seen a surge following recent wins for progressive causes and candidates in states such as Ohio and Virginia, where women's reproductive rights and the economy were prominent voter concerns.
