US President Joe Biden has openly declared that part of his motivation for seeking a second term is to prevent the return of Donald Trump. Speaking off-camera at a campaign fundraising event, Biden emphasized, "We cannot let him win." Trump, a leading contender in the Republican race, appeared in a Fox News town hall, where he did not rule out the possibility of abusing power if he returns to the White House.

While Biden sees opposing Trump as a central focus for his re-election bid, Trump, in response to a question about abusing power, remarked, "Except for day one," emphasizing his intentions to address border security and energy policies. The former president also questioned Biden's fitness for the grueling campaign ahead, suggesting concerns about both mental and physical states.

The 2024 White House campaign intensifies, polls indicate a tight race between the two candidates. Trump, despite facing legal challenges, leads the Republican race, while Biden remains the presumptive Democratic nominee. The political landscape is evolving, with Biden openly framing his re-election mission as a check against the potential return of the former president.
