Joe Biden Has a Chance to Make History in 2024. Here's How.


     Being president is just the cap of a lifetime of public service for President Biden. Delivering the American Rescue Plan, the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, the PACT Act, the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act, cannabis reform, student debt relief, the Inflation Reduction Act, the Respect for Marriage Act, and countless other historic achievements is an impressive first term without a doubt.

     However, President Biden has been serving the public since 1971, first as a county councilman for two years and then as a U.S. senator from Delaware for 36 years, where he chaired the powerful Senate Foreign Relations Committee and Senate Judiciary Committee. Then, President Biden was vice president under Barack Obama from 2009 to 2017 before founding the Biden Foundation and the Beau Biden Foundation. Biden has also authored numerous books and taught at universities, and he was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom with Distinction in 2017.

     It is fitting, therefore, that it is Joe Biden who has the chance to make history in 2024. A lot of media pundits have focused on the president's age, something that didn't stop him from being elected president in 2020 and something that won't stop him from being re-elected in 2024. Only one person in U.S. history has served two terms as vice president and then gone on to be elected to two terms as president: Richard Nixon.

     Obviously, for reasons all too familiar to the American public, Richard Nixon served just over 18 months of his second term. If President Biden is re-elected in 2024, he will become only the second person in American history to be elected vice president twice and president twice. If he serves a full second term, President Biden would be the first American to serve two full terms as president and as VP. 

     Donald Trump stands for hate, for division, for revenge, for gutting democratic institutions that make America America and for weaponizing the power of the presidency to serve his own interests. President Biden works every day to deliver jobs, healthcare, clean energy, equal opportunity, and so much more for America. The 2024 election isn't even a choice. It's not just President Biden who deserves the history he could make in 2024. America deserves four more years of President Biden.
