WASHINGTON (AP) — President Joe Biden is zeroing in on an expected rematch against Donald Trump after this week’s New Hampshire primaries, eager to sharpen the contrast with his predecessor.
While many in the country have hoped for different choices in November, Biden decidedly is not one of them. He sees a rematch with Trump as both his easiest path to reelection and a validation of his decision, at 81, to seek another four-year term.
Biden wasted no time trying to anoint Trump as his head-on rival after the Republican's decisive victory in the New Hampshire primary, which came on the heels of a romp in the Iowa caucuses a week earlier.
