WASHINGTON, D.C.: US President Joe Biden is counting his wins from a grueling trip to Asia, but at home he faces a string of political showdowns to keep his reelection bid on sure footing.
The 80-year-old had 2024 in his sights when he said on his return from India and Vietnam on Monday that his travels had 'strengthened America's leadership on the global stage.'With his Democratic Party reportedly alarmed by his poll ratings, Biden used his time at the G20 in Delhi and in Hanoi to talk up his credentials as US commander-in-chief and international statesman.But the situation on his return to Washington looks increasingly like an uphill battle.
At the G20 summit in Delhi, Biden 'stepped into the void left by Xi and secured new infrastructure deals aimed at connecting India, the Middle East and Europe,' said Josh Lipsky of the Atlantic Council, a think tank. In Vietnam he won a major upgrade in ties to rein in rival Beijing.
