Axelrod Urges Biden to Withdraw from 2024 Presidential Race

Democratic strategist David Axelrod, known for his role in Barack Obama's 2008 victory, has suggested that President Biden should drop out of the 2024 presidential race after a recent poll showed him trailing behind former President Donald Trump in key battleground states. Axelrod pointed to concerns within the Democratic Party and urged Biden to consider whether it is wise for him or the country to continue his re-election bid. The poll revealed Biden's lagging support among swing state voters, particularly on issues of immigration, national security, and the economy. Additionally, concerns about Biden's age were cited as a factor, with a majority of respondents feeling he is "too old" to be president. However, some Democratic officials remain optimistic about Biden's prospects against Trump.
