Joe Biden is still Democrats' only pathway to the presidency
by Tiana Lowe, Commentary Writer
April 25, 2023 06:16 PMAt 80 years old, Joe Biden is three years older than the average life expectancy for an American man. Since the start of Biden's historically unpopular presidency, prices have risen a staggering 15%, and our enemies abroad have begun the process of de-dollarization deals — not just with each other, but also with the allies Biden has alienated. His reputation at home isn't much better than abroad: seven in ten Americans polled by NBC News, including a majority of Democrats, said that Biden should not run for reelection.
And yet Biden is realistically his party's only hope of winning the White House in 2024.
As the party is wont to do, the Democrats have failed to focus on cultivating their backbench, leading the fate of the American Left in the hands of this increasingly senile, bumbling, and spaced-out octogenarian who would be 86 on his last day in office should he manage to win a second term.
Theoretically, Democrats have some would-be rising stars in the ranks if only the party patriarchs knew how to scout for prime-time potential. Kentucky's Andy Beshear consistently ranks as the most popular Democratic governor in the country, and Jared Polis of Colorado, the first openly gay governor in the country, is one of the most interesting progressives as a matter of policy.
