The mainstream media is waking up —slowly, but it’s happening.
According to a recent op-ed from The Washington Post’s David Ignatius, President Joe Biden and Kamala Harris should quietly step away and abandon their intention to run for re-election in 2024.
From Ignatius’ Column:
But I don’t think Biden and Vice President Harris should run for reelection. It’s painful to say that, given my admiration for much of what they have accomplished. But if he and Harris campaign together in 2024, I think Biden risks undoing his greatest achievement — which was stopping Trump.
Biden wrote his political testament in his inaugural address: “When our days are through, our children and our children’s children will say of us: They gave their best, they did their duty, they healed a broken land.” Mr. President, maybe this is that moment when duty has been served.
Biden would carry two big liabilities into a 2024 campaign. He would be 82 when he began a second term. According to a recent Associated Press-NORC poll, 77 percent of the public, including 69 percent of Democrats, think he’s too old to be effective for four more years. Biden’s age isn’t just a Fox News trope; it’s been the subject of dinner-table conversations across America this summer.
More mainstream outlets are being realistic about Biden’s age being a major factor in 2024 as more polls support the fact that Americans see it as a major issue.
