Now That Americans Have Made It Clear They Don't Want Biden to Run Again, 2024 Dem Hopefuls Fight Openly
Let’s face facts: No matter what President Joe Biden says, the odds he runs in 2024 are slim. It’s not because he doesn’t want to, mind you. It’s that America really doesn’t want him to run again.
Now that a new poll shows nearly three in four Americans don’t want the president to seek another term, the knives are coming out — and one of the Democrats’ perennial presidential challengers is attacking one of the party’s fresh faces.
In a series of exchanges that have implications for the 2024 primaries, independent Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders very publicly called out Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg over the state of air travel, telling his supporters in an email they needed to press Buttigieg to “take action to reduce flight cancellations and delays.”

According to Fox News, Sanders’ team sent out the email blast on Friday, just before the snarled Independence Day travel rush.
Fox reported that “the senator targeted Buttigieg over the crisis Americans are facing amid Independence Day as it relates to flight delays and cancellations, as well as the high prices associated with tickets, checked bags and fees.”
Not only that, he sent an email earlier in the week blasting Buttigieg for the air travel issues and demanding he take “immediate action to substantially reduce” the problems travelers are facing.
“All over this country, airline passengers are growing increasingly frustrated by the massive increase in flight delays, cancellations, and outrageously high prices they are forced to pay for tickets, checked bags and other fees,” Sanders wrote.
“Thousands of flight disruptions have left passengers and crew members stranded at crowded airports from one end of the country to the other forcing them to miss weddings, funerals and business meetings and ruining family vacations that have been planned for months in advance.”
Two poison-pen letters in one week from Sanders is news in and of itself, but there’s a reason why the Vermont senator’s very public dressing-down of Buttigieg and the Biden administration carries a great deal more resonance than it ordinarily would.
A bad poll for Joe Biden usually wouldn’t be news. However, the Harvard CAPS-Harris Poll released last week should scare just about anyone who isn’t a Republican.
According to The Hill, 71 percent of respondents said Biden shouldn’t run again, compared with only 29 percent who said he should.
“President Biden may want to run again, but the voters say ‘no’ to the idea of a second term, panning the job he is doing as president.
Only 30 percent of Democrats would even vote for him in a Democratic presidential primary,” said Mark Penn, the co-director of the Harvard CAPS–Harris Poll survey.
“The national survey shows Trump leading Biden 44 percent to 39 percent in a head-to-head match-up, while another 12 percent of voters say they plan to vote for someone else,” The Hill reported.
“Trump’s support has held firm since May, when the same poll found him notching 44 percent support in a 2024 race against Biden. But Biden’s support has waned somewhat since then, dropping from 42 percent in May to 39 percent in late June.”
