First Democratic Senator Believes Biden May Lose Re-Election, Predicts Republican Victory in November

Senator Michael Bennet, a Democrat from Colorado, has recently made headlines by publicly expressing his doubts about President Biden’s chances of winning re-election. He warned of a possible red wave in November, suggesting that former President Trump could secure a landslide victory that includes gaining control of both the Senate and the House.

Bennet confirmed reports that he privately told his colleagues about his belief that Biden may not be able to defeat Trump in the upcoming election. This revelation comes just hours after lawmakers gathered at Capitol Hill for their first meeting since the initial presidential debate earlier this year.

In an interview with CNN, Bennet stated, “This race is on a trajectory that is very worrisome. Donald Trump is on track, I think, to win this election, and maybe win it by a landslide and take with it the Senate and the House.”

One of the key concerns raised within the Democratic Party is Biden’s performance at the first presidential debate, which has sparked worries about his health and mental acuity. Calls for Biden to step down as the Democratic nominee have been growing among party members.

Senator Bennet emphasized that his stance is not solely based on polling or political strategies but is a moral question regarding the future of the country. He highlighted that voters have genuine reservations about Biden’s candidacy, and given the critical nature of the election, discussions are ongoing about whether Biden should continue as the nominee.

In addition to Senator Bennet, vulnerable Democratic Senators Jon Tester of Montana and Sherrod Brown of Ohio reportedly expressed doubts about Biden’s prospects in the general election during a closed-door meeting. This lack of confidence in Biden’s ability to secure victory has been a cause for concern among Democratic lawmakers.

While Senator Bennet is the first Senate Democrat to publicly urge President Biden to reconsider his re-election bid, he is not alone in his sentiments. Seven House Democrats, including representatives Mike Quigley (Illinois), Seth Moulton (Massachusetts), Lloyd Doggett (Texas), Angie Craig (Minnesota), Raul Grijalva (Arizona), Adam Smith (Washington), and Mikie Sherrill (New Jersey), have also called for Biden to step down as the nominee following the presidential debate.

As the 2024 election cycle progresses, the Democratic Party is navigating internal discussions and debates about the viability of President Biden’s re-election campaign. The concerns raised by Senator Bennet and other lawmakers underscore the complexities and uncertainties surrounding the upcoming election and the future of American politics.
