Avast ye scallywags! Me hearties be doubtin' if President Biden and VP Harris be the finest choice o' Democrats fer 2024. Arrr, they be causin' a rumble across the political seas!
Democrats are expressing hesitation about President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris running for re-election in 2024. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi refused to say whether she believes Harris is Biden's best running mate. Pelosi joined a growing list of politicians and pundits who have publicly expressed concerns about Biden's age, his gaffes, and Harris's declining favorability rating. Washington Post columnist David Ignatius wrote that he doesn't think Biden and Harris should run for re-election due to Biden's age and the risk of undoing his accomplishments in stopping former President Trump. Other Democrats, such as Rep. Dean Phillips, have also voiced concerns, suggesting that there are other candidates with better chances who don't have the same actuarial risks as Biden. Former Democratic National Committee Chair Donna Brazile acknowledged the concerns about Biden's age and urged Democrats to make a strong case to boost enthusiasm. MSNBC's Joe Scarborough claimed that every Democrat he has spoken to concedes that Biden is too old to run again. The White House has repeatedly defended Biden's age and mental acuity when questioned by reporters. However, an Associated Press poll from this summer showed that 77% of respondents believed Biden is too old to be effective for another four years, with a majority of both Republicans and Democrats sharing this view.
