Hi, everyone.

I'm Katie Couric, and this is next question.

It's hard to believe, but the 2024 election is less than a year away.

What's even harder to believe, as Yogi Berra would say, it's deja vu all over again.

Yep, that's right, Biden versus Trump.

We've been hearing a lot about the Republican side of the campaign, with the Iowa caucuses and the New Hampshire primary,

and now Super Tuesday is just over a month away. But we haven't been hearing as much from the current administration.

It's like literally, they just want to just make a smaller in every way.
