President Joe Biden has just delivered his first State of the Union address 100 days on from his inauguration.

How is he doing? And, would you bet on him winning a second term? (If not, who would you bet Bitcoin on?)

First of all, it too early for people to make a decision about the 2024 elections but statistics shows that 29% of people in the US seem to support Republican while 33% support Democrats. Despite that, if Biden deliver very well there's chance for him to win the 2024 election.

We might have a new contender if this Australian News website's wish comes true:

Hope not lost if 'rock star' Ron DeSantis runs for Oval Office

Sky News host James Morrow says there is still hope for strong leadership in the west and if people are looking for an early prediction of where things are going to land in 2024 "my money is on Florida Republican Governor Ron DeSantis".

"He's the one who showed up all the lockdown liberals in California and New York who insisted their entire states go into hibernation," Mr Morrow said.

"And it's not just Ron DeSantis' handling of coronavirus that makes him a standout leader. He's also fighting the cultural battles where it counts.

"He's banned the teaching of racist claptrap like critical race theory in schools and he has shown plenty of courage in standing up to China even though he's just a state governor in the US."

Mr Morrow said at a recent Florida concert Mr DeSantis was treated like a "rock star".

"There's a lot of speculation as to whether Trump will come back for another tilt in 2024. If he does, I reckon Ron DeSantis is the veep pick of choice.

"If Trump doesn't run, even though it's still early days, I suspect Ron DeSantis will be the one to take on whomever is sitting in the Oval Office by then."

The incumbent and their VP are always going to be serious contenders for the top job especially when they won with such an impressive voter turn out.

As to any candidates from "the other side" of the floor, the field is definitely wide open.
