A Presidential Pardon and a Plea for Sanity: Why Biden Must Not Run Again
By Arthur Piccolo
The tradition continues: President Biden pardons two turkeys for Thanksgiving, but a growing discontent within his own party could lead to his downfall in the 2024 elections.
In a bizarre ceremony, three turkeys took center stage this year, with two announcing their retirement and a third still pending. Coincidentally, this third turkey’s fate mirrors Biden’s own dilemma: a potential decision not to seek re-election, which would strengthen the Democratic Party’s chances in 2024.
The Paradox of a Presidential Pardon
On one hand, Biden’s presidency has been marked by significant challenges, but on the other hand, it offers a unique opportunity – often referred to cynically as “Biden’s Trump Card.” This refers to the compelling scenario where Biden’s potential decision not to seek re-election could pave the way for a fresher face within the party, reunite the fractured support bases, invigorate young voters, and present a formidable challenge to the Republican opposition.
Recent Polls Reveal a Growing Disconnect
Recent polls reveal an unsettling truth for President Joe Biden: a growing discontent within his own party. A majority of Democrats have expressed their preference against Biden running for a second term in various polls. This sentiment is not isolated, except in Biden’s mind, which is far removed from the reality of his presidency.
The American people’s trust in Biden’s ability to effectively manage government spending, accomplish policy goals, and collaborate with Congress – both Republican and Democrat – is waning. In fact, only about one in five adults currently express a desire to see him run for President again in 2024. Joe, that is 80% against you. Wake up!
A Divided Party and a Weak Presidential Candidate
Crucial factors in Biden’s 2020 victory were the unprecedented turnout of young voters and his opponent – Donald Trump. This once solid support base has fatally eroded, particularly in their approval of Biden’s handling of international affairs, and most of all, the bad impression he makes as President generally.
This disenchantment among voters poses a serious threat to Biden’s re-election campaign, as that support was instrumental in his narrow victory in key states. Perhaps the most telling indication of the fall of Biden is the disadvantage he currently faces against potential Republican candidates, notably former President Donald Trump.
A “Biden’s Trump Card” – The Strategy We Need
The notion of “Biden’s Trump Card” emerges as the strategy we need. A potential Biden decision not to seek re-election would very much strengthen the Democratic Party’s chances in 2024. By stepping aside, Biden would pave the way for a fresher face within the party, one that could potentially reunite the fractured support bases, invigorate the young voters, and present a formidable challenge to the Republican opposition.
Conclusion
In conclusion, the prospect of a second Trump presidency is a daunting one. The Democratic Party needs a fresh face, and the only way to achieve that is for Joe Biden to step aside and allow someone else to take the reins. It’s time for Biden to stop being a turkey and start thinking about the greater good.
