2023-12-30
Avast ye, ye scallywags! David Axelrod, a matey who once advised Former President Obama, be warnin' that if they be takin' Former President Trump off the ballot, it be tearin' this land asunder! Arrr, a mighty storm be brewin' indeed!
Former top Obama adviser David Axelrod expressed concern that removing former President Donald Trump from the primary ballot would cause division in the country. Axelrod stated on CNN that preventing Trump from running would upset the tens of millions of people who want to vote for him. He suggested that the best way to defeat Trump is through the polls. Axelrod also criticized Maine's decision to remove Trump from the state's primary ballot, arguing that it supports Trump's narrative that the Democratic Party is targeting him because of his presidential bid. He claimed that the left's efforts to remove Trump have backfired, as he has only gained popularity despite facing multiple indictments. Axelrod referred to a poll that showed Biden's approval ratings hitting a record low and falling behind Trump in a potential 2024 matchup. He emphasized that what was supposed to be detrimental to Trump has actually boosted his popularity. The ruling by the Colorado Supreme Court that disqualified Trump from the ballot under the 14th Amendment was also mentioned. However, Colorado is considered a Democratic-leaning state and is not expected to be competitive for Republicans in the upcoming election. The final decision on Trump's eligibility is anticipated to be made by the U.S. Supreme Court.
