Biden has lost support from many people who voted for him in the past.
He is getting up there in age.
Here are a couple of sites I'd like to share...

Octogenarian Biden begins new year facing age-old question on 2024 race

In the coming months, Biden faces a simple question: will he seek a second term at the end of which he would be 86?

Biden 2024? Most Democrats say no thank you: AP-NORC poll

A majority of Democrats now think one term is plenty for President Joe Biden, despite his insistence that he plans to seek reelection in 2024. While Biden has trumpeted his legislative victories and ability to govern, the poll suggests relatively few U.S. adults give him high marks on either...

WHAT DO ANY OF YOU THINK?
IS THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY BEST SERVED BY HAVING PRESIDENT BIDEN RUN FOR ANOTHER TERM OR WOULD A DIFFERENT CANDIDATE BE BETTER?

When they made the rules for president, they should have included a max age as well as the minimum age. I guess they didn't think people would be trying to be preisdent after 70. I wouldn't have a problem with capping the at at 75.

I'd cap it at 70. But that's me. And not to say a person in their 70s can't do it, but those who can do it well for a sustained period at that age are far and few between.

i agree. I mean, there are people capable of doing it before they are 35, but most aren't there yet.

 

[SteveSBrickNJ]

Let's say you're right and Biden shouldn't run due to his age.

Who do you believe should run on the Democratic side as his replacement?

I think Jefferies would be a good choice. Not Kennedy. If you were a DNC power broker, who would YOU suggest?

Biden. The incumbent has a better shot of winning than anyone else.

 

[Incumbent]

Age is just one factor but one that *would* be easy to regulate. There are others of greater importance that can't as conveniently be regulated. Mental ability. Overall health and fitness. Temperament. Biden's age is far from ideal - and based on data, presents concerns - but Trump raises a number of red flags, including all of the factors I just mentioned.

As it is, I'd take an 80+ year old Biden over somebody like DeSantis, who hasn't demonstrated the personal makeup to be the leader of a (supposed) free and diverse people. He's a threat to many, Biden is simply old.

 

[Snarky Sack]

I believe that Biden is thought to have the best shot of beating Trump, based on that he did it before. Sound reasoning.

Even if someone else might have a better shot, they would never let Biden go. He is the most malleable person ever to occupy the White House. No one else can be so relied on to say what he is told to say, and sign what he is told to sign. If only they could get him to stop touching girls, and stop reading stage directions on the teleprompter out loud, they'd really have something there.

So that is your opinion and I thank you for it. Yet hypothetically...(it won't happen though) ....just for discussion purposes, IF Jeffries was on a debate stage with Biden, after the populace who are not as aware of politics as you are...after THEY watched that, do you think they would still prefer Biden?

I don’t know if they would, but I do think they should.

And who is the great puppet master pulling Biden’s strings?

OK. Thanks for your time.

everybody knows its George Soros..LOL

Who is the secret organization of "they" that is controlling Biden.

You realize how ridiculous this sounds to anybody not MAGA, don't you? I can only assume you say this to get people on this board riled up.

what if we could get Trump to quit criming? JK, never happen. He’s been doing it his whole life.

I prefer a candidate who isn’t under both state and federal indictment, but apparently you’re fine with the criminal behavior. As well as the completely unhinged posts about “stollen” elections and accusing the special prosecutor of being a crackhead.

But you do you, lol.

I can tell you why I would prefer Biden at this point. He has decades of foreign policy experience, both in the Senate and as VP. I like Jeffries, actually quite a lot, but he’s not ready yet, IMO.

Obviously the man behind the curtain stays behind the curtain. We won't start to get an idea until the tell all "I was the real power" books come out as they always do. Then we would have to compare them, and analyze to figure out what it true. I did that pretty extensively for the Nixon team before and during Watergate. Just for fun, I'm a history nerd.

Anyway, this is pure speculation, so don't demand that I proooove it.

It wouldn't be one man, nor would it be a committee. It would be several individuals in advisory positions, with each individual having their own advisers.

For domestic policies like taxes and spending, that is likely his Chief of staff Jeff Zeints, who is a long time confidant and advised him during COVID. He's a former Obama WH guy, so he probably passes on Obama's advice to Biden. If that is true, then he probably doesn't need many other advisors since Obama has plenty.

For domestic policies such as transgender issues, racial issues, and other issues that would fall under wokeness, I'd pick Dr. Jill as his advisor, she getting advice from a cabal of feminists, transgenders, progressive teachers and race hustlers, younger versions of jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton.

For foreign policy, it would be primarily his Chinese and Ukrainian handlers that would control him, but with Biden's well-paid children as intermediaries. Biden is not going to deal directly with them other than at official functions where they don't really talk about anything. That's what I attribute his slow motion response to the spy balloons to: time consuming passing of information from Beijeng, to Chinese businessmen busy buying up U.S. farmland, to finding a sober Biden kid, and then to waking up Joe. That would have been a lot slower than simply calling the WH and telling them, "our balloons are almost finished, give them forty-eight hours and then make a big deal of shooting them down. We'll have your back by acting angry that you did."

I’ve been pretty nice to you, and I don’t want to break that streak.

So politely, this is forking clown shoes.

Feel free to be yourself, Brandon. I'm only going to be here four more days.

If I were thin-skinned, I wouldn't have lasted a week around here. It reminds me of boy scout initiation, where we had to run a belt line.

We also ran a belt line every time we advanced in rank. And, it was a frequent punishment for relatively small infractions.

I sometimes wonder about that scoutmaster . . .

 

[CoolBrees]

Running belt lines?!?

Has your Scout Leader met Chris Hansen by any chance?

I am starting to see where your warped views on sexuality come from.

All the pent up anger too.

Four days. Sure.
