In an interview on NBC News’s Meet the Press, President Joe Biden’s deputy 2024 campaign manager Quentin Fulks laid out the key issues for the potential reelection campaign, emphasizing Biden’s determination to “finish the job” on several key matters. Fulks highlighted important policy priorities for the campaign, putting emphasis on issues such as abortion, gun violence, healthcare costs, and student loans.
Fulks specifically addressed the recent Supreme Court decision overturning Roe v. Wade and returning abortion laws to states, stating that Biden is committed to restoring Roe and ensuring women’s rights. He then delved into gun control, healthcare costs related to insulin, and student loan forgiveness as critical agenda items for Biden, stating that the president needs a second term to continue his initiatives in these areas.
This is all we need for Biden to have control on these issues & then absolutely no action on our southern border! On Tuition, he just ignored/violated the court orders!!!😠

Fulks highlighted the president’s efforts to prevent gun violence, including passing the bipartisan Safer Communities Act and establishing an office for gun violence prevention. He also emphasized the need to ban assault weapons and high-capacity magazines. Additionally, Fulks addressed the issue of healthcare costs, particularly the exorbitant prices of insulin, and the need to cap its price for all Americans. Furthermore, he mentioned the president’s goal of forgiving billions of dollars in student loan debt and the necessity of a second term to accomplish this.
Biden’s reelection campaign is framed around the preservation of democracy and the purported threats to institutions, with a focus on former President Donald Trump’s alleged impact on democratic norms. This messaging was underscored during the president’s speech near Valley Forge in Pennsylvania, where he marked the anniversary of the Capitol riot on Jan. 6, 2021.
The Biden campaign’s key promises for a potential second term are centered on addressing these pressing issues and seeking to solidify democratic values. With a firm commitment to these objectives, the Biden-Harris administration aims to rally support for their reelection bid by emphasizing the need to continue and complete the work they have commenced in their first term.
