Former strategist for Obama thinks Biden might not win.
David Axelrod, a renowned CNN commentator and former senior advisor to President Barack Obama, has made a bold prediction regarding Joe Biden’s chances in the upcoming 2024 election. According to Axelrod, Biden is more likely to suffer a landslide defeat rather than eke out a narrow victory, especially after his lackluster debate performance.
Axelrod drew an analogy to legendary football quarterback Tom Brady, emphasizing that even someone as accomplished as Brady had to eventually step down from the game. “Tom Brady won a Super Bowl three years ago, and he’s out of football, OK? Why? Doesn’t detract from his greatness or what he’s done,” Axelrod remarked during a recent appearance on CNN.
Highlighting the harsh realities of political campaigning, Axelrod emphasized that Biden’s performance on the debate stage revealed certain immutable truths that the President seems unwilling to acknowledge. “He hasn’t come to grips with it. He’s not winning this race,” Axelrod stated firmly, based on his observations and discussions with political insiders across the country.
Expressing concern for the future of the Democratic Party, Axelrod penned an op-ed for CNN, where he critiqued Biden’s recent interview on ABC. Despite the interview’s intent to reassure the public and dispel concerns surrounding Biden’s candidacy, Axelrod noted that it only exacerbated the existing panic within the party.
During the ABC interview with George Stephanopoulos, Biden adamantly declared his fitness for office and his determination to stay in the race until divine intervention dictated otherwise. Dismissing polls that showed him trailing behind former President Donald Trump, Biden exhibited what Axelrod described as a combination of “Denial. Delusion. Defiance.”
As murmurs of discontent grow within Democratic circles nationwide, calls for Biden to step aside in favor of a younger, more dynamic candidate have intensified. Members of Congress and other prominent figures within the party have voiced concerns about Biden’s ability to effectively challenge Trump in the upcoming election, especially following his lackluster debate performance.
As the political landscape continues to shift and evolve, the fate of Joe Biden’s candidacy remains uncertain. Will he heed the advice of critics like Axelrod and consider stepping down for the greater good of the party? Only time will tell as the 2024 election draws nearer.
