Biden and Trump are now bitter enemies

Looks like the 2024 presidential election has already begun. Biden denounced the extremism inspired by Trump and now Trump has called Biden an enemy of the state for allowing his Mar-a-Lago residence in Florida to be raided by the FBI. And it's only September 2022. So the two presumed leading candidates for the White House in 2024 are aleady at loggerheads and and setting up their stalls on either side of the divided barriers that epitomise the United States today. So we have the prospect of two years of haranguing and vitriol which will be guaranteed if Trump says what everyone now is expecting him to say which is that he intends to stand for the Republican nomination. There are still so many Republicans who still adore Trump that it's very difficult to see any other potential candidate making any ground at all. People like Mike Pompeo, the former secretary of state, will, I am sure, bide his time and wait for 2028 if Trump throws his hat into the ring. It would be political suicide to do anything else. Biden claims he will relish takng on Trump again but if the two men are aleady at daggers drawn with two years to go I wonder if he will have the stamina to fight the former president.
