Democrats spent the past few months mocking those who looked at Biden’s poll numbers and suggested he should drop out as ‘bedwetters’. There’s now a prominent new bedwetter joining the ranks.
Former President Obama’s senior adviser David Axelrod said it’s the last moment for President Biden to check if he should drop out of the 2024 presidential race, after suggesting he should do so.
On Sunday, Axelrod, in the wake of a new poll showing Biden trailing former President Trump in key swing states, said Biden needs to decide if it’s wise to continue his run. The poll found Biden trailing Trump in five out of six battleground states, including Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada and Pennsylvania.
“As I’ve said for like a couple years now, the issue’s not — for him is not political, its actuarial. You can see that in this poll and there’s just a lot of concern about the age issue, and that is something I think he needs to ponder. Just do a check and say, ‘Is this the right thing to do?’” Axelrod said.
“Is this the best path? I suspect that he will say yes, but time is fleeting here, and this is probably the last moment for him to do that check, and it’s probably good if he does,” the Obama alum added.
What’s also significant is that during a foreign crisis, presidential poll numbers usually go up. (Then they drop back down afterward.) That does not seem to be happening here.
No one really wants Biden. Most think he’s too old. And life in general is miserable. That’s what people who fixate too much on political issues don’t entirely understand. When life is bad, much of the electorate, which isn’t Dem or GOP, turns against whoever is in the White House. And it takes hard work for an incumbent to survive that.
And life is really, really bad now. Maybe not quite as bad as 2020, but a good deal worse than 2012. And Biden is no Obama.
Running an unpopular incumbent is just a death wish. Most Dems know it. And with Trump in ascendance, they’re much more likely to want to dump Biden and bet on a fresh new candidate. And that would be a good bet. Much better than sticking with the old nag.
So Sen. Fetterman just took a shot at Gov. Newsom for running a shadow campaign.
Sen. John Fetterman, D-Pa., on Saturday evening criticized California Gov. Gavin Newsom and accused him of secretly running for president while speaking at an Iowa Democratic Party dinner, even though Newsom has said he fully supports Joe Biden’s re-election bid.
“There are two additional Democrats running for Pennsylvania, excuse me, running for president right now,” said Fetterman, who acknowledged that he still has lingering speech issues after he had a stroke in 2022. “One is a congressman from Minnesota, the other one is the governor of California, but only one has the guts to announce it.”
Fetterman was sent out on the campaign trail to rally support among Democrats for Biden. Taking the shot at Newsom is significant. It could be the first shot in a political civil war. There’s been a lot of resentment of Newsom in the Biden camp and now they’re getting edgy enough. Newsom’s approach has been that he’s not going to run against Biden, he’ll just wait and jump in if he drops out. Some of Biden’s people think that is a cowardly attempt to avoid a primary challenge and instead wait in the wings as the party’s savior.
Sending Fetterman, who’s unfit for office, to attack Biden, who’s unfit for office, was probably not the best move. But it also hints at the Biden campaign’s strategy against Newsom, paint him as an elitist who can’t connect with working-class people. While Biden did a bit better with working-class whites than Hillary or Obama (he could hardly have done worse), there’s really not much evidence that their fake working-class routines work.
The Democrats have the same problem that they did before. They would rather Biden not run, but they have no good way of ousting him. Expecting Biden to do what’s best for the party is not terribly realistic. And the DNC already rigged the primaries for him. If Biden doesn’t leave on his own, expect an ugly civil war to play out.
Axelrod’s comments are aimed more at the party than at Biden, but he also seems to be resigned to being stuck with him. That’s been the overall tone in the party. Axelrod is telling Democrats that it may be their last chance.
But the DNC has gone far down the road with Biden. His loyalists are encamped inside. It took a lot for Obama to pry Hillary out. Biden is no Hillary, but is Newsom is also no Obama. History may repeat itself as farce.
Ugly Sid says
If we had a political/legal system that still worked, Biden wouldn’t be ducking the primaries, he’d be occupied trying to duck the gallows.
Cat says
Excuse me while I adjust my tinfoil hate. Biden is Obama and Obama is “President” for life, yes?
I don’t think that guy with the mustache who can speak is Fetterman. But it doesn’t matter as Fetterman probably didn’t really win anyway.
Taylor says
>>Biden is Obama and Obama is “President” for life, yes?
Yes and he recently tipped his hand by being the only former POTUS to make a statement–in very presidential fashion–about 10/7 and then walking back his statement. Anyhow, he’s only stealth POTUS until Trump, or any Republican–is back in office.
Jeff Bargholz says
Bareback Hasbeen Obama doesn’t run shit. He’s always been lazy and completely incompetent. A mastermind? NO FUCKING WAY. He’s just a dick sucker. Yes, he’s gay in case you didn’t know, and a fem Gaylord at that. Not all gay guys suck dicks but he sure does.
What is it with some conservatives? How can you be so stupid? Barely Hussein Osama couldn’t mastermind a pile of shit, which is what he is. He doesn’t even wake up until 11: AM. Master controller my ass.
Jeff Bargholz says
Whoever down voted me gives Bareback Hasbeen Obama rim-jobs and nibbles his shit nuggets.
Do they taste like chocolate?
Matt Tarango says
I suspect you are talking to yourself about your own thumbs down. Like Biden or Fetterman would do.
Though I do agree with you about Obama. But that’s where his femdom controllers Michelle and Valerie Jarrett cum in.
Kit_Jefferson says
The snkes in the swamp grass have grown too comfortable with their positions in Old Joe’s reign and will try to keep him there for one more term. They may, however, want to work on getting ride of Hyena Harris..
Algorithmic Analyst says
Someone is trying to push him out, including radical leftists who think he is too soft on Israel.
Jeff Bargholz says
Yes, his handlers try to play both sides with Israel. They do their utmost to screw Israel but pretend to support it. Lip service, which is what bitches are good at. I wonder if there are people out there shit for brains stupid enough to believe them?
Unfortunately. the answer is yes.
SPURWING PLOVER says
Bidens polls are getting so low their going to hit the bottom of the Marinas Trench and Implode just like that Titanic Submersible
TruthLaser says
The moment seems to be coming when Kamala says to Joe, “What do mean WE are surrounded, Kemo Sabe?”
mj says
What’s going on?
What will be?
I get the feeling we’re reading the galleys of Obama’s magnum opus,
“I, Barak” and understudy Michele is waiting in the wings. Coming to an election near you.
Jeff Bargholz says
Those Osama retards couldn’t mastermind a wet fart, much less control a nation. They’re COMPLETELY incompetent and lazy.
Dream on.
Jeff Bargholz says
Whoever down voted me eats Kamala’s stinky pussy and gargles.
NAVY ET1 says
The fact that Axelrod said the quiet part out loud Sunday should come as no surprise to anyone. They know Biden is a dead horse (400+ days of vacation so far) that they can no longer beat, so they’re grooming the constituency for an 11th hour switch. Fetterman, or his life-size facsimile, being on the Biden “support” tour wasn’t accidental either, because nothing garners support like a speech-addled Neanderthal in sweatpants.
Newsom makes the most sense from the party’s perspective so, if so, the question becomes how to accomplish the ‘bait & switch’.
Kynarion Hellenis says
The presidency will be pried out of Biden’s cold, dead hands before another puppet stand-in for the New World Order takes his place.
Angel Jacob says
One sure thing, the leftists are always replaced by somebody far worse.
Onzeur Trante says
Gavin Newsom, for instance. The clueless horde would elect him (or any last minute Obama sh0o-in) with a little help from Democrat election fraudsters. Trump needs to win by a huge landslide that would render any fraud efforts futile. May the truth win out: America has had enough.

Marlow: Biden Spent 50 Years in D.C. Figuring Out How to Enrich His Family
PAM KEY
Breitbart Editor-in-Chief and New York Times bestselling Breaking Biden author Alex Marlow said Monday on The First’s “Road to the White House” that President Joe Biden has spent 50 years in Washington, D.C. enriching his family.
Anchor Mike Slater said, “The most important thing I got from this book is that Joe Biden is not a goofy buffoon walking around stepping on rakes and, ‘Gosh golly, aw shucks, now I happen to be in the White House.’ I don’t want to say mastermind, that may give him too much credit, but who is Joe Biden?”
Marlow said, “He is not this goofball who just bumbled into the presidency and is just getting puppeteered by everyone.”
Jeff Bargholz says
Look at those beady eyes. Buzzard Biden looks like a cross between a rat and…… a buzzard. And his plugs are disgusting.
