He HAS been under HUGE pressure to get into some sort of campaign ….
Being President is NOT enough to get a renewal on keeping the job…..

Biden IS taking that Trump ‘Revenege’ campiagn as a defination of what American would be subjected to if Donald Trump gets second chance at the Presidency he tried to keep that has him facing criminal charges…
President Biden is intensifying his campaign efforts as he looks toward November, planning a series of speeches that aides said on Wednesday would cast the stakes of the coming election as the endurance of American democracy itself.

During both events, he will characterize his predecessor as a serious threat to the nation’s founding principles, arguing that Trump — who has built a commanding early lead in the Republican presidential primary — will seek to undermine U.S. democracy should he win a second term.
“We are running a campaign like the fate of our democracy depends on it, because it does,” Biden reelection campaign manager Julie Chavez Rodriguez said on a conference call with reporters…..
