The Current President of the United States: Joe Biden's Presidency

After voting on Super Tuesday, the Republican presidential primary narrowed to a single major candidate. Former President Donald Trump was the frontrunner, but ultimately lost to Joe Biden in the general election. Biden went on to become the 46th President of the United States, defeating Trump in a contentious election.

There was no shortage of people running for president when the campaign began, all laboring under the shadow of the same two men who faced off in the previous election. Former President Donald Trump and President Joe Biden headline a race that could still be influenced in key states by a handful of independent candidates. Despite the crowded field, Biden emerged victorious and took office in January 2021.

Joe Biden is the 46th President of the United States, having been inaugurated in January 2021. With less than nine months remaining until US voters decide who will serve as president from January 2025 to January 2029, Biden's administration faces numerous challenges, including navigating a divided Congress and addressing pressing issues like gun laws and national security.

The decision by Maine's secretary of state to bar former President Donald Trump from the ballot will inevitably increase pressure on the current administration. 65% of U.S. adults say the way the president is elected should be changed so that the winner of the popular vote nationwide wins the election. This sentiment reflects ongoing debates about the electoral college system and calls for electoral reform.

Joe Biden is the oldest president in U.S. history and the second sitting president in a row to set that record. Here's the age he turned when he took office: 78. Despite his age, Biden's job performance over his first three years in the White House is being viewed more favorably by presidential experts than by the general public. He faces ongoing challenges in uniting the country and addressing key policy issues.
