> Biden Holds Lead Over Trump, Pence in 2024 Race but Lags Behind Generic GOP Candidate

President Joe Biden would lose to a generic Republican candidate if the 2024 election were held today, a new poll showed.

But the poll also showed Biden faring better with prominent GOP figures. In a hypothetical rematch of the 2020 election, Biden would best Donald Trump 45-to-44 percent if the next presidential race were held today. And against former Vice President Mike Pence, Biden held a 2-point lead.


The president's chances were even better against Texas Senator Ted Cruz and Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, with Biden leading those two Republicans by 6 points and 5 points, respectively.

Biden has repeatedly said he plans to run for president again in two years, with Vice President Kamala Harris as his running mate. During a press conference last week, the president affirmed Harris would be with him on the ticket as he backed her work on voting rights despite legislation stalling in the Senate.

Biden's comments came after Harris dismissed a question about whether she'd reteam with the 79-year-old on the 2024 ballot.
