‘Don’t Run Joe’: Democrats plot primary coup in 2024

Democrats are bristling at the thought of President Biden running for re-election in 2024 and are scrambling for another nominee.

Democrat strategists admitted they are concerned for their party’s prospects if Biden chooses to run for re-election in 2024, according to an interview with the Hill. 64% of Democrats want him in the primary, according to a New York Times-Siena College poll.

“The president may not realize or care that the trajectory of his policies has been taking him farther and farther from the Democratic Party base, but his distance from that base would likely be catastrophic for Biden if he tries to get nominated again,” RootsAction founder Normon Solomon told the Hill. He called the president’s attempts to run for re-election “tone-deaf” and “self-centered.”

RootsAction, a progressive group, plans to launch a national campaign, ‘Don’t Run Joe,’ the day after this year’s midterm elections. “With so much at stake, making him the Democratic Party’s standard-bearer in 2024 would be a tragic mistake,” the group stated on its website.
