“‘Biden will flunk the question.’ I was speaking with two senior Democratic operatives last week about the upcoming election and more specifically about the suggestion from David Axelrod — CNN analyst and former senior adviser to President Obama — that President Biden may want to reconsider his reelection bid as former President Trump gets closer and closer to becoming the presumptive Republican nominee. Axelrod logically voiced his fears after the New York Times and Siena College published polls showing Trump leading Biden in five of six key battleground states. In a social media post, Axelrod wrote, ‘It’s very late to change horses; a lot will happen in the next year that no one can predict & Biden’s team says his resolve to run is firm.’ He then added: ‘Only @JoeBiden can make this decision.'” (11/18/23)
