'Alarm Bells': Democrat Strategist David Axelrod Warns Third-Party Bid Could Sink Biden's Re-Election HopesBy Mike Miller
July 22, 2023
It’s astonishing to believe that in a nation of more than 334 million people, the 2024 presidential election could very well boil down to a redux of 2020, with both Joe Biden and Donald Trump facing serious obstacles neither of them likely even dreamed about the last time around. Still, here we find ourselves.
In this case, we’ll focus on the clearly-declining Biden, his incoherence, multitudinous scandals, more than seven out of 10 Americans believing the country is headed in the wrong direction, and Kamala Harris waiting in the wings. In other words, incredibly so, Biden continues to hang on — if even by a mere thread.
As Biden’s troubles continue to compound, concern among Democrat strategies and party leaders continues to rise — including among those who refuse to say so publicly.
One Democrat strategist who’s not afraid to address his concerns publicly is former senior advisor to then-President Barack Obama, David Axelrod. Now a CNN political commentator, Axelrod believes third-party candidates — Green Party presidential candidate Cornel West, in particular — could very well sink Biden’s bid for a second term.
Axelrod doesn’t understand why “alarm bells aren’t going off” in the Democrat Party about West’s candidacy.
