ANYONE BUT JOE! Dems Freaking Out About Biden's Age, Eye Minnesota Moderate for 2024; Report

posted by Hannity Staff - 7.28.23

President Biden continues to face challengers from within his own party.

According to a Daily Caller report, Democrats are becoming increasingly concerned with Joe Biden’s age as the country inches closer to the 2024 election; calls for additional (alternative) candidates continue to mount.

Wealthy Democrat donors have been floating Rep. Dean Phillips (D-MN), a Minnesota moderate.

“Nobody wants to be the one to do something that would undermine the chances of a Democratic victory in 2024,” Phillips previously told Politico. “Yet in quiet rooms, the conversation is just the opposite — we could be at a higher risk if this path is cleared.”

From The Daily Caller:

As concerns over Biden’s age and approval ratings and the effects of third-party candidates continue to mount, Democrats are looking for another contender to emerge, according to Politico. Phillips is meeting with Democratic donors in New York City next week to discuss a potential bid, which would only come if there’s a serious decline in the president’s health or standing among the electorate.

Along with Phillips’ support for a Democratic primary, donors are also eyeing Phillips for a potential White House bid because of his criticism of centrist organization No Labels for floating a third-party “unity ticket” in 2024, according to Politico. Democrats are worried such a candidate would siphon off more votes from Biden than the Republican nominee, leading to a potential second term for former President Donald Trump.

“If No Labels runs a Joe Manchin against Donald Trump and Joe Biden, I think it will be a historic disaster,” Phillips previously told The New York Times. “And I speak for just about every moderate Democrat and frankly most of my moderate Republican friends.”

President Biden’s approval rating is 38%, with 52% disapproving of the president, according to a Big Village CARAVAN poll conducted July 24 to July 26.

Will Joe survive his party’s panic?
