This week, Joe Biden admitted that he probably would not be running
for re-election if Donald Trump was not likely to be the Republican
candidate. The thoughts of a rehashed presidential race in 2024 has
many Americans dreading next year, and some are looking to

worry? This week, Jonathan Freedland speaks to Nitish Pahwa of
Slate about why Democrats are worried that Biden could suffer the
same fate as Hilary Clinton in 2016
