Maybe it’s time for Joe Biden to turn his hearing aids up…

Former Obama adviser David Axelrod suggested it may be “wise” for President Biden to drop out of the 2024 race after a recent poll found Trump leading Biden in multiple battleground states. A New York Times and Siena College poll published Sunday found Trump leading Biden by 10 points in Nevada, six points in Georgia, five points in both Arizona and Michigan, and four points in Pennsylvania. In Wisconsin, Biden held a two point lead over Trump. The poll’s results are especially concerning for Democrats as Biden won all six states in the 2020 election.

Arguing Biden is “justly proud of his accomplishments,” Axelrod said Biden’s poll numbers will “send tremors of doubt” through the Democrat Party.

“Not ‘bed-wetting,’” but legitimate concern, Axelrod wrote.

“Trump is a dangerous, unhinged demagogue whose brazen disdain for the rules, [norms], laws and institutions or democracy should be disqualifying,” Axelrod wrote in a separate post. “But the stakes of miscalculation here are too dramatic to ignore.”

“Only @JoeBiden can make this decision,” he continued. “If he continues to run, he will be the nominee of the Democratic Party. What he needs to decide is whether that is wise; whether it’s in HIS best interest or the country’s?”

Biden’s reelection campaign has faced concerns from voters within his own party over his age and policy actions on various issues, especially the economy.

Axelrod called Biden’s age “his biggest liability” and something he cannot change.

“Among all the unpredictables there is one thing that is sure: the age arrow only points in one direction,” Axelrod wrote.

The former Obama adviser is hardly the first to encourage Biden to pause his reelection campaign in hopes a younger candidate will take on Donald Trump, the current frontrunner for the Republican nomination.

Recently, Congressman Dean Phillips (D) officially kicked off his own presidential campaign, teeing up a primary challenge against the President.

  1. Everyone, again, is buying into the BS of polls. Biden will be placed as the leader of our once great nation again. This election is just theater, sorry to say. You have all kinds of RINO’S, illegals, America haters, Blacks, Latino’s, Jews, Muslims, Liberals, Hollyweird, Lobbylists, Wall Street, Unions, etc that will vote for BYDEN. They know where their money & power comes from and they are not about the elect President Trump since he is a threat to both.

  2. I believe, that for GOP to win election is the best chance if Biden stays on. Joe, please stays on. All free world is behind you to stay on with you puppeteer Obama.
