WSJ’s Ken Thomas breaks down how the political landscape has changed since 2020 and what challenges President Biden will face in 2024. Photo illustration: Ryan TrefesWASHINGTON—President Biden is staring down a rough month just as his re-election campaign is getting off the ground. The White House faces a series of wrenching issues that could weaken his political standing and distract from his effort to sell his accomplishments, including a clash with Republicans over raising the debt ceiling and an expected surge of migrants along the U.S. southern border as the pandemic-era Title 42 policy comes to an end May 11. The recent seizure of another failing bank could add to voters’ uncertainty about the health of the economy.

☆ Why Joe Biden Decided to Run Again

Photo Illustration: Ryan TrefesWASHINGTON—By the time Ronald Reagan turned 80, he was a former president, watching the end of the Cold War unfold from his home in California. At the same age, Jimmy Carter was deep into his postpresidential work promoting democracy around the globe, while George H.W. Bush was months away from seeing his son win a second term as president. Now 80, President Biden is embarking on a path with no precedent in American political history, as he is running for a second term. He is driven to stay in one of the world’s most challenging jobs at a moment when many Americans are years into their retirement—and as polls show majorities of voters, including many Democrats, don’t believe he should run again.

Photo: Leah Millis/ReutersWASHINGTON—President Biden opened his 2024 re-election campaign by casting Republicans as a danger to democracy and abortion rights, while the GOP countered that the presidential contest would pivot on the faltering economy and Mr. Biden’s age. Mr. Biden formally launched his bid for a second term Tuesday with a video announcement, a declaration that puts him on the path to a potential rematch with the man he beat in 2020—former President Donald Trump. The 2024 campaign will play out in an era of political polarization, with both parties fighting over a small number of battleground states and the narrow slice of the electorate that isn’t firmly in one camp or the other.

A formal campaign announcement from Mr. Biden, 80, has long been expected, and the president has been vocal about his desire to “finish the job” he started during his first term. But aides have said there was little urgency to make it official, given the lack of a serious Democratic primary challenger and the chaotic Republican field. Tuesday, April 25, will mark the four-year anniversary of the launch of Mr. Biden’s last presidential campaign.

DUBLIN—President Biden often turns to Irish poets to convey his deepest emotions. In Ireland this week as he reflected on the visit, he spoke more plainly: “It feels wonderful. Mr. Biden has the deepest Irish family roots of any American president since John F. Kennedy, and he was welcomed here as the ultimate local boy made good. Crowds lined the streets in County Louth—where he traces one branch of his ancestors—and in Dublin. At one stop, a pipe band played an original song called “A Biden Return.” The widow of a favorite poet attended his address to parliament.

Democrats believe former President Donald Trump, who was indicted on Tuesday for his alleged role in paying hush money to a porn actress ahead of the 2016 election, is a threat to democracy and shouldn’t return to the White House. Many of them also think he is the best possible opponent for President Biden in 2024. With protesters and news media assembled in the streets, Mr. Trump reported to a Manhattan courthouse, where he pleaded not guilty to 34 counts related to the hush money and the alleged coverup. On his way to the proceedings, he posted on his social-media site: “Seems so SURREAL—WOW, they are going to ARREST ME. Can’t believe this is happening in America.”

President Biden’s budget plan will find little support in the House, where Speaker Kevin McCarthy is preparing his own proposal. WASHINGTON—President Biden’s $6.9 trillion budget proposal is a road map for his fights to come with congressional Republicans and his GOP opponent in his expected 2024 re-election campaign. The plan Mr. Biden released Thursday will find little support in the House, where Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R., Calif.) is preparing his own budget proposal and must overcome his intraparty divisions. The document will showcase the president’s differences with Republicans on Capitol Hill and in the 2024 field. Republicans in turn will use Mr. Biden’s budget—including its plans to raise taxes and increase spending—as fuel for their case that he doesn’t deserve a second term.

President Biden is getting policy pushback from some Democrats as he builds party support ahead of his expected 2024 re-election bid. WASHINGTON—President Biden has taken steps to signal his party’s toughness on immigration and crime ahead of his expected re-election bid, but the moves have angered some Democratic allies who say they feel blindsided. Mr. Biden sided with Republicans pushing to repeal a local law that would change the District of Columbia’s criminal code, with the Senate expected to vote Wednesday to reject the D.C. measure. And his administration is considering a return to a policy of detaining migrant families who cross illegally into the U.S. as it looks to more restrictive policies to control the southern border.

WASHINGTON—President Biden said the three highflying objects taken down over North America following the shooting down of an alleged Chinese surveillance balloon were likely tied to private companies or related to recreation or scientific research, saying they were removed out of an abundance of caution. Following days of questions about the administration’s response, Mr. Biden said of the three objects that “nothing right now suggests they’re related to China’s spy balloon program.” He said he has directed his team to develop sharper rules for distinguishing objects that present safety risks and require action.
