Are CNN and Even Kamala Already Throwing Joe Biden Under the Bus for 2024? – Opinion

Joe Biden stated that he would run for reelection in 2024.

Here’s White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki confirming it last month.

That’s the position of the administration even though he’s 79 years old, would be almost 82 years old on election day in 2024, and Americans have a lot of questions about his mental fitness right now for the office. Even the MSM asked Jill Biden about that, although she was completely dismissive of Americans’ concerns.

But in an interesting twist, when Biden’s running mate and his Transporation Secretary — both of whom have thoughts about someday being in the White House — were asked about him running again, they played dumb.

According to the Wall Street Journal, who interviewed Kamala Harris yesterday, she said that she hadn’t talked about it with him, that it wasn’t a topic they talked about or that she thought about.

Biden is said to have discussed running again with Psaki, but not Harris. If that’s true, that says a lot about the lack of a relationship between Biden and Harris, and maybe that he’s not considering her in the equation. It also seems to indicate that she’s not on board with the administration’s position on the subject.

You will be amazed at the beauty of moments like these.

Then there’s Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg. He was asked about Biden running again in 2024 earlier this month — again, after the Psaki pronouncement — and he tried to blow off the answer as well.

“It’s 2021,” Buttigieg said when asked about speculation over a Biden reelection bid. Rumours have also circulated about Vice President Harris and Buttigieg launching presidential campaigns in 2024.

“And the whole point of campaigns and elections is when they go well you get to govern. Our focus is on the task at hand. I am excited to be part of a team led by the president and the vice president and I think the teamwork that got us to this point is really just beginning,” he added.

So Biden’s team doesn’t exactly seem like they’re on board with the idea. Small wonder since both Buttigieg and Harris want the job themselves and maybe think it’s their time to run in 2024.

CNN is also putting Joe Biden under pressure. Chris Cillizza admits Biden’s advanced age and low approval numbers lead to speculation on the 11 Democrats who could replace him “if” he doesn’t run again. Are they seeing the signs or not? But the people that they picked are such a list of fail, it’s almost as though they’re looking for people who are on level bad with Biden.

It’s a sad list if this is all they’ve got.

Kamala Harris
Pete Buttigieg
Elizabeth Warren
Amy Klobuchar
Roy Cooper
Mitch Landrieu
Gina Raimondo
Gretchen Whitmer
Phil Murphy
J.B. Pritzker
Stacey Abrams

They’re lightweights, failed running before, folks who have no national profile, or people who have become known for being horrible leaders during the pandemic. Of course, maybe the problem is that’s where the Democrats are at. The fact that they don’t have a real bench is a disaster.

The NY Times ran a similar article as CNN’s, listing some of the same names.

This means that no one stands out and isn’t particularly attractive. They’re wishcasting for someone who isn’t there.

There’s another name out there which neither article touched on — a person making a lot of noise saying: “Please notice me, think about me, pick me!” during this speculation game — and that’s Hillary Clinton who suddenly seems to be everywhere at once, commenting on everything, whether or not anyone wants to hear from her. I’d love a Donald Trump – Hillary Clinton rematch because the debates would be lit, with Hillary just melting down. Democrats are delusional enough to not go along with her since she’d be crushed.

However, the most likely names being pushed to the fore seem to be the lightweights — Kamala Harris and Pete Buttigieg. They would fare poorly against Trump, according to an Harvard-Harris poll.

Trump would defeat Joe Biden 48%-45%. Americans doubted Biden’s mental fitness and almost two-thirds thought him too old for the office.

So however you slice it, it’s not looking good for Democrats if things stay on that course.
