As President Joe Biden grapples with a series of crises at the close of 2023, doubts about his ability to secure the White House in the upcoming 2024 election have reportedly reached the highest echelons of the Democratic Party. A Wall Street Journal report by Annie Linskey cites an anonymous source revealing that former President Barack Obama is among those questioning Biden’s prospects, expressing concerns about the potential for Democrats to lose the presidency next year.
The anonymous source disclosed that Obama is troubled by the current state of affairs. With former President Donald Trump gaining ground in polls and a range of issues—from age and immigration to Israel policy and economic plans—casting shadows over the Biden administration, Obama reportedly fears that the Democrats “very well could lose” the 2024 election.
According to the report, Obama recognizes the upcoming presidential race as a close one. The source added that the former president is not only troubled by the prospect of a Democratic loss but is also worried about what they described as “the alternative [being] pretty dangerous for democracy.”
David Axelrod, a senior adviser to former President Obama, recently suggested on social media that Biden should step aside, pointing to a New York Times and Siena College poll showing the incumbent trailing behind Trump.
Axelrod noted that it might be “very late to change horses,” but expressed concerns that Biden’s poll numbers could send “tremors of doubt” through the Democratic Party. Axelrod emphasized that the concerns were not mere “bed-wetting” but legitimate worries about the party’s electoral prospects.
