Biden should not run in 2024, and— believe me— it has nothing to do with his age.
During President Macron’s state visit to the United States last month, the First Lady shared that she and her husband were ready for re-election. But while the Bidens and Macrons were toasting to re-election, Democrats throughout the country were not celebrating.
Some worry that Biden shouldn’t run again because of his age, but for me –in all honesty!–age has nothing to do with it. The President’s poor track record, low approval ratings, and general indecisiveness make him unfit to lead the Party beyond 2024.
True, President Biden played a vital role in helping Democrats gain power after four years of a Trump administration. The President has had to lead in difficult times since the beginning of his term both domestically, with the pandemic, higher unemployment, and increased inflation, and globally, with tensions between China and Taiwan and the Russian invasion of Ukraine. President Biden has also had legislative successes in the last two years with the Inflation Reduction Act and American Rescue Plan.
Overall, President Biden has well played his role as the wise elder statesman and achieved what he was elected to do: beat Trump, lead the country during a crisis and bring normalcy back to the presidency.
