According to The Washington Post, President Joe Biden's improved political fortunes seem to be overshadowing talk of an internal party primary challenge.
The Inflation Reduction Act, a $52 billion chips-funding bill, and bipartisan gun control legislation have been signed into law by Biden in the last few months.
As of September 4, the average price for a gallon of fuel in the US is around $3.89.
A recent Wall Street Journal poll showed Biden's approval rating at 45%, a good sign for the White House as the president's numbers had been in the low 30s and low 40s for a long time.
The reduced chatter surrounding a primary challenge allows the White House to focus on the upcoming elections, as the president reportedly plans to launch his reelection bid after the contests.
Donald Trump, who has teased a run since he left the White House, is going to make his plans known in the coming months. With Trump playing a crucial role in campaigning for Republicans this fall, he will continue to provide a stark contrast to Biden.
The California Democrat said months ago that the party needed to stick together and sell what Biden has signed into law to the public.
Some Democrats were frustrated by the lack of action on the president's agenda and floated new potential standard bearers, including governors. Secretary Pete Buttigieg, Gov. of California, J.B. Pritzker, and Sen. Elizabeth Warren are all Democrats.
A progressive who enjoys a strong relationship with the Biden White House, Khanna dismissed such talk.
I was criticized when I said I supported the president's reelection six months ago, but now many other people are saying that. He told The Post that they're starting to recognize that we need to stop the firing squad. Weakening Joe Biden is strengthening Donald Trump, according to most people.
This is not the time for political opportunism. The president's reelection is at this time of the year.
There has been some concern about Biden's age, but he is still committed to running for reelection.
