Political Expert Suggests Joe Biden May Step Aside in 2024 Presidential Election
With the presidential election just a year away, political expert and former Barack Obama adviser David Axelrod, who happens to be a Democrat, has raised the possibility that President Joe Biden may choose not to run for re-election. Axelrod’s statement comes in response to a New York Times and Siena College poll that shows Donald Trump leading Biden by a significant margin in five crucial states: Pennsylvania, Nevada, Michigan, Georgia, and Arizona.
Axelrod took to Twitter to express his concerns, stating that it is late in the game to change candidates, but a lot can happen in the next year that no one can predict. While Biden’s team insists that his resolve to run is firm, Axelrod believes there is legitimate concern within the Democratic Party about Trump’s lead in the polls.
One of the factors that Axelrod believes is playing a role in Biden’s potential decision to step aside is his age. However, he acknowledges that this is something the president cannot change. Axelrod also emphasizes the dangers of a Trump presidency, calling him a dangerous and unhinged demagogue who shows disdain for the rules and norms of democracy.
Axelrod believes that Biden needs to make a selfless decision sooner rather than later, considering the high stakes involved in the election. He notes that there is a lot of leadership talent within the Democratic Party waiting to emerge. With Trump facing legal troubles and Biden’s low polling numbers, the 2024 presidential candidates could be very different from what Americans expected.
Ultimately, Axelrod asserts that the decision to run or step aside is up to Biden alone. If he chooses to continue his campaign, he will be the Democratic Party’s nominee. However, Axelrod urges Biden to consider whether it is wise and in the best interest of the country for him to do so.
As the 2024 presidential election approaches, the possibilities remain uncertain. It is clear that there are concerns within the Democratic Party about Biden’s chances against Trump. Only time will tell whether Biden will continue his campaign or make way for a different Democratic candidate.
