The video starts out dramatically. Images of the Capitol under attack on Jan. 6, 2021. Grainy footage of a protest on the grounds of the Supreme Court. A musical score to rival a Marvel superhero movie. 


And then President Biden\\u2019s voice, announcing his 2024 campaign: \\u201cFreedom. Personal freedom is fundamental to us as Americans. That\\u2019s been the work of my first term. To fight for our democracy,\\u201d he says, music soaring under the voice-over of the launch video. \\u201cThis is not a time to be complacent. That\\u2019s why I\\u2019m running for reelection.\\u201d 


But as the campaign tries to ratchet up excitement for the president\\u2019s reelection bid, the roadblocks to another four years are also mounting. Rising inflation. Stagnant legislative attempts. And, maybe most importantly, an enthusiasm gap from voters \\u2014 even the people who supported Biden in 2020.


White House reporter Tyler Pager joins \\u201cPost Reports\\u201d to give a snapshot of the country \\u2014 and a president \\u2014 in the run-up to 2024.
