<p>President <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/joe-biden">Joe Biden</a> said on Tuesday that he does not have a preference among the two leading Republican candidates running to face him in the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/2024-election" target="_blank" rel="noopener">2024 general election</a>.</p>
<p>&#8220;Oh, I don&#8217;t care,&#8221; Biden said in response to a reporter who asked if he would rather face off against former President <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/donald-trump" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Donald Trump</a> or <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/nikki-haley" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Nikki Haley</a>.</p>
<p>Biden and Trump are seeking a second term, possibly setting up a 2020 rematch in November. Haley, a former South Carolina governor and U.S. ambassador to the United Nations during the Trump administration, is campaigning for a first term in the White House.</p>

<p>In December, Biden told donors that he was <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/biden-says-hes-not-sure-hed-be-running-for-re-election-if-trump-wasnt" target="_blank" rel="noopener">&#8220;not sure&#8221;</a> he would be running for <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/2024-election" target="_blank" rel="noopener">re-election</a> if Trump was not also competing. He also suggested that <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/biden-says-hes-not-the-only-one-who-can-defeat-trump" target="_blank" rel="noopener">&#8220;probably 50&#8221;</a> other Democrats could defeat Trump in his place.</p>
<p>The president&#8217;s comments on Tuesday were made as he was departing the White House en route to California for a <a href="https://www.nbclosangeles.com/news/local/biden-returns-to-california-for-more-fundraising-events/3343519/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">fundraising swing</a> through the state.</p>
<p>A reporter asked Biden if his trip was about having a &#8220;plan B&#8221; and whether California Democratic Governor Gavin Newsom needs to &#8220;stand by&#8221; in the lead-up to November.</p>
<p>&#8220;Are you ready?&#8221; Biden asked. When he got an affirmative reply, Biden said, &#8220;I&#8217;m looking at you.&#8221;</p>
<p>Biden did not answer the question as he pivoted to make a statement about the expected White House announcement of <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/white-house-teases-major-sanctions-package-against-russia-in-response-to-navalnys-death" target="_blank" rel="noopener">new sanctions</a> against Russia on Friday.</p>

<p>Trump and <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/nikki-haley-refuses-to-drop-out-the-political-elite-are-against-me-trump-unstable" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Haley have been campaigning</a> in South Carolina, which is slated to have its GOP primary on February 24. Other GOP candidates have suspended their campaigns.</p>
<p>After contests in Iowa, New Hampshire, Nevada, and the Virgin Islands, Trump has <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2024/us/elections/republican-primary-delegates-tracker-calendar.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">63 delegates</a> while Haley has 17. A candidate requires 1,215 delegates to win the nomination.</p>

<p>Haley declared this week that she&#8217;s in the race <a href="https://twitter.com/dylanewells/status/1759810507958108201" target="_blank" rel="noopener">until at least Super Tuesday,</a> in early March.</p>
<p>Biden is the clear frontrunner in the race for the Democratic Party&#8217;s nomination, but he is still facing some long-shot challenges, including from Rep. Dean Phillips (D-MN).</p>
<p>Robert F. Kennedy <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/retro-rfk-jr-ad-mirroring-jfk-commercial-runs-during-super-bowl" target="_blank" rel="noopener">is also running for the presidency</a> as an independent candidate after a break with the Democratic Party over how it was conducting its election process.</p>
