Joe Biden’s presidency has been a colossal failure.
And he may be taking the entire Democrat Party down with him.
Barack Obama has a major fear about Joe Biden.
President Joe Biden’s plummeting poll numbers are alarming Democrats. Recent polling has shown Biden trailing behind Trump with the popular vote and losing critical swing-state votes.
These numbers are causing members of his own party to lose confidence.
And according to one source “familiar with his [Obama’s] thinking,” even Barack Obama is seriously concerned.
He doubts Biden’s reelection chances and “feels that Democrats very well could lose,” according to a report by Annie Linskey at WSJ.
Obama “knows this is going to be a close race,” the source told the WSJ and that “the alternative is pretty dangerous for democracy,” the person said.
Former senior adviser for the Obama administration, David Axelrod, openly proposed Joe Biden drop out of the race altogether last month.
Highlighting a New York Times and Siena College November poll showing Trump leading in five out of six swing states, Axelrod wrote on X, “It’s very late to change horses; a lot will happen in the next year that no one can predict & Biden’s team says his resolve to run is firm.”
While Axelrod said Biden should be “justly proud of his accomplishments,” he also said Biden’s dire poll numbers will “send tremors of doubt” through the Democrat Party.
“The greatest concern is that his biggest liability is the one thing he can’t change,” he added. “Among all the unpredictables there is one thing that is sure: the age arrow only points in one direction.”
“Trump is a dangerous, unhinged demagogue whose brazen disdain for the rules, [norms], laws and institutions or democracy should be disqualifying,” Axelrod said in a separate post, “but the stakes of miscalculation here are too dramatic to ignore.”
“Only @JoeBiden can make this decision,” he continued. “If he continues to run, he will be the nominee of the Democratic Party. What he needs to decide is whether that is wise; whether it’s in HIS best interest or the country’s?”
Late night host Bill Maher also called for Biden to drop out of the presidential race saying the 80-year-old incumbent is just too old.
“Someone has to convince President Biden that if he runs again, he’s going to turn the country back over to Trump and go… down in history as Ruth Bader Biden, the person who doesn’t know when to quit and so does great damage to their party and their country,” Maher said, referring to late Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg.
