Time for America to seek a President with enthusiasm, passion, energy – not just a teleprompter reader!
+ The New York Times: At 79, Biden Is Testing the Boundaries of Age and the Presidency – President Biden has said he plans to run for a second term, but his age has become an uncomfortable issue for him and his party.
+ NBC News Meet The Press: Democrats begin to question whether Biden should run again in 2024 – Whispers that President Biden’s age make him ill-suited to run again in 2024 have gone public. And some Democrats are stepping into what they perceive as a leadership vacuum.
+ The Associated Press: From one July Fourth to the next, a steep slide for Biden
+ The New York Times: The Democratic Party has two core problems. First, Biden’s job approval rating is only 33 percent (similar to Trump’s worst ratings during his presidency), partly because of frustration over inflation and the continuing disruptions to daily life stemming from the pandemic. Second, Democrats’ priorities appear out of step with those of most Americans.
