David Axelrod, a key Barack Obama political machine operative and likely one of the main reasons Obama spent eight years in the White House, is warning that Joe Biden may fail the Democrat Party in 2024.
Axelrod cited polling from the New York Times that showed Biden trailing President Donald Trump in five key battleground states, Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada and Pennsylvania, all of which Biden won in 2020.
That, Axelrod warned, will “send tremors of doubt thru the [Democrat] party” and raise up “legitimate concern.”
“If he continues to run, he will be the nominee of the Democratic Party,” Axelrod said. “What he needs to decide is whether that is wise; whether it’s in HIS best interest or the country’s?”
Axelrod was the chief strategist for Obama’s presidential campaigns, and also was given the job of “senior adviser to the president” for a time.
A report from the Washington Examiner said Axelrod’s doubts were posted on social media.
They followed polling showing Trump trouncing Biden by margins of 4 to 11 points in those five swing states.
In a sixth swing state, Wisconsin, Biden was ahead only by a razor-thing 2% margin.
On social media, Axelrod took the now well-trodden Democrat path of name-calling against Trump, a campaign they’ve used since even before he was elected president when Democrats fabricated the “Russia collusion” claims against him.
The @POTUS is justly proud of his accomplishments. Trump is a dangerous, unhinged demagogue whose brazen disdain for the rules, norms, laws and institutions or democracy should be disqualifying. But the stakes of miscalculation here are too dramatic to ignore.

But Axelrod warned the “stakes” of making a “miscalculation” about 2024 are “too dramatic to ignore.”
The Examiner reported, “The new polling also found that voters under 30 prefer Biden over Trump by only 1 point, with Biden’s support from Hispanic voters also going down. Additionally, black voters registered 22% in support of Trump, according to new polling data from the New York Times and Siena College.”
Trump is far and away the leader of the GOP’s primary race.
The New York Post bluntly characterized Axelrod’s comments as suggesting “Biden drop out of 2024 race.”
“Axelrod noted there is a “risk associated with changing course now, as there is little time left for a primary campaign — and campaigns are how we test candidates.”
Already, polls show voters overwhelmingly preferring Trump over Biden on national security, on Israel, on immigration, the economy and more. Most Americans believe the nation is going to “wrong direction” under Biden.
IMPORTANT NOTE TO WND READERS: “Our country is going communist!” warned Donald Trump recently. “It’s going Marxist, it’s going REALLY bad.” He added, “The PEOPLE of our country aren’t that way – but the people RUNNING it are.” Is this just election-season bluster and hyperbole, or can the utterly unthinkable be true?
America’s plunge into atheistic Marxism in virtually every area of life – from weaponizing government and courts to destroy critics and political opponents, to crushing free speech, to corrupting and brainwashing the nation’s children, and much much more – is all stunningly explored in the October issue of WND’s critically acclaimed Whistleblower magazine, titled “AMERICA’S COMMUNIST REVOLUTION: How the freest nation in history is rapidly becoming a Marxist police state.” Beyond exposing the Marxist takeover of America’s key institutions, this explosive special report goes on to reveal how Marxism/communism is ACTUALLY A MAJOR WORLD RELIGION, albeit a false and malevolent one. It unearths what REALLY motivates the “high priests” of this truly dark atheistic faith, which has captivated untold millions and murdered millions more. And it vividly illustrates exactly how and why citizens of the greatest nation in history are now experiencing – to quote Barack Obama’s words – “a fundamental transformation of the United States of America.” This Whistleblower issue is a crucial wake-up call for all Americans. WHISTLEBLOWER is available in both the popular print edition and a state-of-the-art digital version, either single issues or discounted annual subscriptions.
