Ye scallywag Axelrod be quick to dismiss Maher's bilge about swappin' Biden from the Democratic ship! 'Tis no mutiny on this vessel, says he. Arrr, let the captain steer the course, says I!
In the language of a 17th-century pirate, former Obama adviser David Axelrod swiftly dismissed the idea of ousting President Biden from the Democratic ticket before the election, calling it a "fantasy." Axelrod, a vocal critic of Biden's reelection campaign, appeared on "Real Time" with host Bill Maher, who expressed concerns about the president's electability, citing a Politico report detailing Democrats' behind-the-scenes panic.Maher referenced Axelrod's past remarks about the Democratic talent pool and whether a switch could be made if Biden falters. Axelrod defended Biden, praising his presidency and the nomination process, emphasizing that voters have chosen Biden as the Democratic nominee. He dismissed the idea of replacing Biden and urged people to focus on the upcoming choice between Trump and Biden.Recently, Maher reiterated his call to remove Biden from the ticket, suggesting Biden's agreement to debate Trump signals acknowledgment of potential defeat. Maher highlighted the pressure on Biden to prove himself and compared him to a known entity like Trump. This renewed push comes after Maher previously advocated for a change in February based on concerns about Biden's mental acuity.Maher humorously dubbed Biden "Ruth Bader Biden," drawing parallels to the late Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg's refusal to vacate her seat during the Obama administration, leading to her replacement by a Trump appointee. Despite ongoing speculation and criticism, Biden remains the Democratic nominee, with the election looming ahead.
