After the Midterm elections, the talk about Joe Biden not running for re-election cooled dramatically.
That left Harris’ future in limbo.
And now Kamala Harris saw a shocking new poll that will change everything.
When Democrats performed better than expected in the Midterm elections the press hailed it as Joe Biden’s political comeback.
Heading into the Midterms, Biden’s approval ratings plummeted into the low 40s and a CNN poll showed 75 percent of Democrats did not want Biden as their candidate in 2024.
But after Democrats gained one seat in the Senate and won key gubernatorial elections in Arizona, Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Wisconsin, Biden’s political standing momentarily solidified.
However, the Democrats’ hesitancy toward Joe Biden has little to do with job performance or ideology.
The simple fact of the matter is Democrats understand that Joe Biden will turn 82 years old in 2024 and will be 86 at the end of a second term.
Americans do not think Joe Biden – who is already showing serious signs of senility – is capable of service as President at his advanced age.
A brand new Yahoo/YouGov poll found 68 percent of Americans – including 48 percent of Democrats – believe Biden is too old to serve a second term.
In a very worrisome number for Democrats, just 34 percent of Democrats disagree.
Yahoo reports:
Nearly 7 in 10 registered voters (68 percent) now say President Biden is “too old for another term,” according to a new Yahoo News/YouGov poll — and more Democrats agree (48 percent) than disagree (34 percent) with that assessment.
The survey of 1,516 U.S. adults, which was conducted from Feb. 23 to 27, underscores the central challenge facing the oldest president in American history as he gears up for a likely reelection bid — and the difficult position his age is putting his party in.
For Democrats, the problem is not Biden’s performance in office; they overwhelmingly approve (77 percent) rather than disapprove (20 percent) of how the 80-year-old is handling the job.
Two new polls from Harvard/Harris and Emerson also show Trump leading Joe Biden outside the margin of error as concerns about Biden’s age grow.
Joe Biden also keeps delaying the announcement of his re-election campaign.
Biden’s only claim to the nomination is that he is electable.
But the more the bad polling data piles up and Biden keeps delaying his announcement, the more likely it is that Biden will not run for President and Kamala Harris will enter an open primary as the next in line.
