On the Democratic front, President Joe Biden, who secured an unconventional win in New Hampshire via a write-in campaign, is ramping up his campaigning efforts as he gears up for a rematch with Trump.

In a statement, Biden said it’s increasingly clear that Trump is headed straight into a general election matchup where he will face the only person to have ever beaten him at the ballot box.
