They are starting to come out of the woodwork. Two congressional Democrats have gotten the nerve to voice opposition to President Joe Biden running for a second term.
They must be looking at the new polling that has been done that indicates that most Americans do not believe Biden should seek reelection.
Rep. Dean Phillips (D-MN) and Rep. Angie Craig (D-MN) declared publicly that there needs to be a replacement for the president. They are the most high-profile federally elected politicians to make such a declaration
“I think the country would be well served by a new generation of compelling, well-prepared, dynamic Democrats who step up,” Phillips said on a radio show while being interviewed last week.
When he was asked if he would support Biden if he did run in 2024, he responded, “No.”
“I think Dean Phillips and I are in lockstep and alignment with that, and I’m going to do everything in my power as a member of Congress to make sure that we have a new generation of leadership,” Craig said while speaking to the MinnPost on Tuesday.
According to the Politico/Morning Consult polling that was released on July 12, it found that 61% of Americans believe former President Donald Trump should not run in the 2024 election and 64% of Americans feel the same way about President Biden running again for the presidency.
There were similar results in the New York Times/Siena College poll that was released at the same time. It found that almost half of Republican voters are looking beyond Trump for a presidential candidate in 2024. The poll found that Florida Governor Ron DeSantis (R) is the best alternative.
Yahoo/YouGov poll found that 64% of respondents do not think Biden should run for re-election.
By the 2024 November elections, Biden will be 82 years old and Trump would be 78.
