Progressive Group Launches ‘Don’t Run Joe’ Campaign Begging Democrats to Run a Different Candidate in 2024 Jordan Dixon-Hamilton 9 Nov 2022
The progressive Democrat group RootsAction launched its “Don’t Run Joe” campaign on Wednesday, urging the Democratic Party not to nominate President Joe Biden for reelection in 2024.
The “Don’t Run Joe” campaign launch comes one day after the midterm elections, in which Democrats performed better than expected. RootsAction urges Democrats not to make the “tragic mistake” of rerunning Biden in 2024, whose presidency they describe as being “neither bold nor inspiring.”
The group said in a press release:
The threat of a neofascist GOP has become all too obvious. Bold and inspiring leadership from the Oval Office will be essential.
Unfortunately, President Biden has been neither bold nor inspiring. And his prospects for winning re-election appear to be bleak. With so much at stake, making him the Democratic Party’s standard-bearer in 2024 would be a tragic mistake.
The Vermont-based group would rather see the Democrats run a candidate who advances a “truly progressive agenda.”
However, Biden has consistently indicated throughout the first two years of his presidency his intent to run for reelection.
On Wednesday, the same day the “Don’t Run Joe” campaign launched, Biden again signaled he would run for reelection. When reporters questioned Biden about exit polls that found a majority of voters did not want to see him run for reelection, Biden told reporters, “watch me” and added that the polls would not impact his decision.
