Does anyone want Biden to run?
The New York Times reports “many Democratic lawmakers and party officials are venting their frustrations with President Biden’s struggle to advance the bulk of his agenda, doubting his ability to rescue the party from a predicted midterm trouncing and increasingly viewing him as an anchor that should be cut loose in 2024.”
David Axelrod doesn’t sound stoked about Biden running, saying, “The presidency is a monstrously taxing job and the stark reality is the president would be closer to 90 than 80 at the end of a second term, and that would be a major issue.”
And yesterday AOC said she will not commit to backing Biden in the 2024 presidential election, saying instead that “we’ll cross that bridge when we get to it.”
What about AOC’s vulnerable House colleagues? Do they want Biden to run again in 2024?
