This warning is simple. A self-proclaimed Joe Biden supporter, Rep. Phillips is jumping into the Democratic primary because Joe Biden is unlikely to get re-elected.
My grave concern,” the congressman said, “is I just don’t think President Biden will beat Donald Trump next November.”
. The difference now, he said—the reason for his own buzzer-beating run for the presidency—is that Biden’s numbers have gone from bad to awful. Surveys taken since late summer show the president’s approval ratings hovering at or below 40 percent, Trump pulling ahead in the horse race, and sizable majorities of voters, including Democratic voters, wishing the president would step aside.
It’s funny because people talked about Obama trying to get Biden not to run in the first place, then Obama pulling Biden’s strings, now Biden doesn’t have a say if he runs again. It’s just a bunch of stuff constantly being thrown around.
The main reason that won’t happen is because Michelle wants to be the first woman President. That may even get Kamala kicked off the '24 ticket. There is a high likelihood that Biden will not last another four years.
He may well get the DNC nod if he agrees to be a healthy compos mentis rubber stamp for the deep state. He would not have the baggage of Newsome or the independence of Kennedy.
