If hostages are taken, that will be the final nail in the Biden coffin. Republicans will already have the House and Senate by then and will then add a Republican president.Will media cover a hostage crisis with Biden administration like it did the Carter administration or will they continue to protect Biden as they have since he took office? Will Biden be mentally up to the task? Hostage crisis in 1979-80 pushed Carter to his limits mentally and physically by Carter's own admission. If hostages taken or Americans murdered in cold blood how much of an impact would that have on Biden re-election chances in 2024?The Iranian hostage crisis and its effect on American politics | Brookings
