Barack Obama once said never underestimate Joe Biden’s ability to screw things up. Now, it sounds like Obama may be bracing for Biden to blow it in 2024.
According to a Wall Street Journal report, Obama fears a Trump win in 2024.
Obama “knows this is going to be a close race” and “feels that Democrats very well could lose,” the report stated, noting the information came from a person “familiar with his [Obama’s] thinking.”
From Fox News:
The former president also reportedly worries that the alternative to Biden on the Republican side would be “pretty dangerous for democracy.”
Weighing in on the subject Monday on “Outnumbered,” Fox News anchor Bill Hemmer said he believes the Obamas will rally in support of Biden come late 2024.
“I think it’s entirely too early right now, too. And these numbers are going to change, too,” he said of Biden’s slipping approval.
Obama’s concern coincides with Biden’s consistently dismal approval rating and slipping poll numbers in hypothetical matchups with GOP hopefuls.
A recent Fox News poll to gauge the president’s approval indicated 57% of registered voters disapprove of his performance while only 43% approve.
On Monday, reports circulated that the Bidens were upset with Joe’s collapsing poll numbers —even going as far as to deliver stern remarks to top Biden aides.
