 An absolutely devastating new poll conducted by CNN between July 22nd and 24th finds that 75% of Democratic Party voters want someone other than Joe Biden to run for president in 2024. To say that this is bad for him would be an understatement. This is shockingly, shockingly devastating. But yet, he's still going to do it. Presumably, he hasn't really announced or even signaled that he's going to step down and only serve one term as he did before he was elected. And recently, when he was asked about this, his response was, read the polls, Jack. And he pointed to a poll where it showed that Democratic Party voters would support him if he were the nominee again. But he misses the point that they don't want him to be the nominee. Now it's so bad for Biden currently that even members of his own party are publicly distancing themselves from him. So for example, progressive lawmaker Cori Bush was asked whether or not she would support Biden in 2024. Look at her response. Do you want to see Joe Biden run for a second term? Yeah, I, you know, that's an easy question that it's not going to take long. Do you want to see Joe Biden? I want to answer that question because we have not that's not yet I want to answer that question. Okay. I mean, he's the president. He has the right to run for a second term. Absolutely. But I don't want to, I don't, I don't want, I rather you not do that. You got like two minutes. Yeah, no, I got to get to the other thing. Ouch. Now, Democratic Party loyalists were clutching their pearls over this because they viewed it as just being disloyal to the party. And look, she could have been a lot more meaner, right? She was clearly thinking no, but she didn't say it because she didn't want to be accused of being divisive. But yet they still accused her of being divisive. So I wish that she would have just stated her opinion there. But regardless, when the president is that unpopular, this is called political strategy, not associating yourself with the president, who the party itself doesn't even like. And I love how all of this, you know, screeching about Corey Bush here and her response. Well, guess what? Even corporate Democrats are distancing themselves from Joe Biden. Look at the way that Tim Ryan responded when asked if he would support Biden in 2024 himself. Do you support the president in his reelection bid? I'm working on my own election and that's all I'm focused on right now. We've got a little under four months here in Ohio and we're running a great campaign. We're up in the polls and working really hard. So I'm just going to focus on that and then we can chat about that after I win and get in the United States Senate. I'll be happy to comment. Yeah. So Democrats of all stripes are now seeing that the ship is sinking and they're getting out on lifeboats right now before it brings them down as well. It's smart. I disagree with Tim Ryan, but politically this is the correct strategy. Why would you go out of your way to associate yourself with a president who 75% of the party does not identify with, does not like, does not want him to run for presidents? I mean, usually when you have an incumbent president who can run for a second term, the party is with them unless there are really extreme circumstances. And we're in that point where these are really extreme circumstances. Now when it comes to who Democrats want, there's really no clear alternative in their view. So a University of New Hampshire poll finds that Pete Buttigieg is statistically tied with Joe Biden, which again speaks to how low his favorables are within his own party for an incumbent to be tied statistically with someone else. Now Warren's at 10%, Gavin Newsom 10%, Amy Klobuchar 9%, Sanders 8%, Kamala Harris 6%, which this is the vice president. So that is very, very bad for her. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez 5%, Hillary Clinton 3%, LOL, Stacey Abrams 3%, Cory Booker 2%, Whitmer 1%, Chris Murphy 1%, and J.B. Pritzker at 0%. So Democratic Party voters don't really know who they would flock to. They just know. They all agree on one thing, that they don't want it to be Biden. And I feel them. Even if it's the case that a progressive wouldn't succeed in a 2024 primary, I think that anyone besides Biden would be preferable, because if you go back to my coverage of the 2020 Democratic Party primary elections, I repeatedly stated that Biden was one of the worst, if not the worst, presidential contender, excluding maybe Michael Bloomberg, who was buying his way into relevance. But I mean, it's just with Joe Biden, there isn't just the corporatism and the corruption that makes him bad, but it's just being genuinely out of touch, being too old to identify with the struggles of this generation, not taking climate change seriously. And even if I think that other corporate Democrats like Pete Buttigieg wouldn't take climate change as seriously, he at least has a self interest in doing something because he is young enough to see climate change get exponentially worse, whereas Joe Biden is pretty old. So frankly, he's not going to see the worst of what climate change has to offer. And aside from climate change, he hasn't done enough to satisfy the base. Now, you can point to Joe Manchin, Kirsten Sinema. I think there'd probably be some other villain in their place in the event they chose to play ball with Biden. But there are a number of reasons why you can't display Manchin in cinema, because Biden can do a plethora of things using his pen with executive action. For example, he can cancel student debt. He doesn't want to cancel all of it. He won't even cancel $50,000. But where's the 10,000 that he promised to cancel? We were told months ago that we'd hear something in weeks. And now student loan payments are set to resume. And we're still just wondering what's going to happen with our lives. He hasn't descheduled cannabis. He stopped taking COVID-19 seriously. His response to Roe v. Wade being overturned has been horrific and laughable. You won't use his bully pulpit to call out people in his own party like Manchin and Sinema when they obstruct his purported agenda. And on top of that, his administration stands towards immigration has been cruel and inhumane, much like his predecessor. For example, he's not capitalizing on the one good thing that the Supreme Court did in their overall horrific last session. As Politico reports, Biden goes silent after SCOTUS gives him power to nix Trump immigration policy. And they explain last month, the Supreme Court cleared the way for the Biden administration to unwind a Trump era policy that has forced thousands of asylum seekers to wait in Mexico, often in dangerous settings for their U.S. court proceedings. The White House and Department of Homeland Security have been mum on their plans following the Supreme Court's ruling. Immigration advocates asking about next steps have been met with a similar silence. In that void, a question has emerged. What exactly is the holdup? The bottom line is they've been saying they want to restore a meaningful asylum system. Well, now is their chance to show that they mean it, said Julie Rabinowitz, deputy director of the ACLU Immigrants Rights Project. Their hands are no longer tied. And as long as they're no longer tied, they should make good on that promise. The silence from the administration is the latest tension point between the president and immigration advocates frustrated by President Joe Biden's failure to deliver on promises he made as president and during his campaign. Advocates continue to press Biden on his pledges to reverse restrictive border policies, including remain in Mexico, imposed by his predecessor. While pieces of Biden's immigration agenda have been blocked by the courts, they argue the president has also ducked such tough issues for political expediency and they'd be correct about that. So virtually every constituency that Biden has is disappointed in him. This is why most people in his party, the overwhelming majority of Democratic Party voters, do not want him to run in 2024 and for him to go against their wishes to run despite what they want. He's putting ego above the country because he knows that if the base is this unenthusiastic about him, he's going to lose to Trump or DeSantis, and that will put the country in a very terrible position. So if he genuinely cares about American democracy, the best thing that he should do or would do in that scenario would be to announce that he's not seeking a second term and allow the Democratic Party to have a robust primary where we can select somebody else. But I don't think that he's going to do this because this is a selfish individual. And as we've seen, Democratic Party elites will cling to power for dear life and refuse to give it up. I mean, Diane Feinstein, currently, there are reports that she's suffering from dementia, forgetting names of staffers. It's just this is the situation. These elites don't care about us. They cling to power for self-aggrandizement for themselves and they don't care about the country. They don't care about what their own party wants. And it's just despicable.
