Former Obama strategist David Axelrod has left no stone unturned in delivering his scathing critiques on President Biden’s diminishing electability. Axelrod went on the offensive after Biden’s train-wreck debate performance against former President Donald Trump last month. In a bid to soothe the frayed nerves of Democrat voters, the president’s sit-down with ABC News’s George Stephanopoulos was supposed to signal confidence. Instead, Axelrod declared in a CNN column that Biden’s lifebuoy attempt was a belly flop.
As if the initial jabs weren’t enough, Axelrod went full throttle on CNN’s “Inside Politics” this Sunday. He didn’t mince words, asserting that Biden is “not winning this race.” Imagine the horror of Democratic loyalists hearing Axelrod state the grim reality: if one crunches the numbers and gauges sentiment from political circles nationwide, it’s clear that Biden’s chances are slimmer than a needle.

The reverberations continued when Axelrod dissected Biden’s interview with Stephanopoulos, revealing the president’s glaring disconnect with voter anxieties about his age. Biden’s stumbling performance underscores the argument that Father Time is an adversary no political spin can overcome. Axelrod’s sports analogy hit the nail on the head, likening Biden’s plight to Tom Brady’s exit from football. Just as Brady had to bow out despite his storied career, Biden’s time, according to Axelrod, should be nearing its end.
Axelrod’s unflinching advice was impossible to ignore. He suggested that the president should ponder his political fate and do what is supposedly right for the nation. If Biden truly believes the stakes of the 2024 race are as high as he claims, then perhaps it’s time for a candid reassessment of his role in the Democratic Party’s future.
With all this friendly fire, the liberals must be feeling the heat like a Thanksgiving turkey shoved into a boiling oven. Axelrod, once Biden’s cheerleader, now sounds more like a stern coach ready to bench him. Could this civil war within the left’s ranks be the GOP’s golden ticket? Only time will tell, but one thing is certain: the Democratic debate stage is starting to look more like a retirement home talent show than a robust political battleground.
