Biden's Early Days: Mixed Reviews and Strong Support.

President Biden's re-election campaign has started with a skeletal operation, causing concern among some Democrats who fear a lack of urgency ahead of a possible rematch against Donald Trump. However, Biden's top advisers insist that the limited-release nature of his 2024 campaign is by design, holding down costs by outsourcing as much as possible to the Democratic National Committee while the president's senior staff members remain ensconced in top White House roles that allow them to engage in campaign strategy. The campaign is preparing to lean heavily on major donors in the first months of the race, and invited top bundlers to Washington on the first weekend of the campaign for a private briefing.
