Is Joe Biden a viable candidate for 2024? | Robert Reich

The discussion about Biden's re-election conflates five different questions. Let's look at them one by one

Reports that justice department investigators on Friday seized more than a half-dozen documents, some of them classified, from President Biden's residence in Wilmington, Delaware - including documents from his time as a senator and others from his time as vice-president - have shaken Washington, worrying some Democrats about Biden's viability as a candidate in 2024.

The imminent departure of Ron Klain, Biden's chief of staff, is also being read as a sign that Biden and his administration are turning a corner - reviving questions about whether the 80-year-old president should run again.
