“Things that no one could have predicted could happen next year.”
Trump wins by a landslide ‘5 to 1’ over Biden in opinion polls in battleground states
On the 5th (local time), former White House senior adviser David Axelrod called for President Joe Biden to withdraw from the 2024 US presidential election, US political media The Hill reported.
Axelrod, an American political advisor and analyst, served as a senior White House advisor during the Barack Obama administration from 2009 to 2011, and served as a chief strategist for Obama’s re-election campaign.
Axelrod’s request comes as former President Donald Trump defeated President Biden with ‘5 wins and 1 loss’ in a poll conducted by the New York Times (NYT) in conjunction with Siena College ahead of the U.S. presidential election in November next year. This came as the results of a survey showing that the company was ahead with a comfortable margin were made public.
Axelrod said on
He said, “I am proud of Biden’s achievements,” but pointed out, “This poll will raise doubts within the Democratic Party.”
Axelrod then insisted that such suspicions were “legitimate concerns.”
In another article, Axelrod argued, “Trump is a dangerous demagogue and his contempt for rules and norms, laws and institutions, and democracy is disqualifying,” and added, “But the misjudgment is so dramatic that it cannot be ignored.”
He said, “Only Biden can make the decision,” and “If he continues (the race), he will become the Democratic candidate, but he must consider whether it will be beneficial to him or the country.”
President Biden said that it is legitimate for voters to question his age among some in the Democratic Party, but that it is more important to evaluate his ability to perform his duties rather than his age.
President Biden, the oldest person ever, is currently 80 years old and will finish his second term at 86 if he is re-elected.
