Former President Donald Trump is dominating primary and general election polls at the moment, and his critics fear that a victory is possible in 2024.
Despite mounting legal challenges, Mr. Trump is showing a lot of resilience against his likely rival, President Joe Biden. For Democrats, there is a lot on the line, potentially the future of American democracy.
The former real estate mogul is not changing his tune, he is proudly toying with the idea of becoming a dictator. Trump also has no problem flirting with controversial notions, like embracing some of Adolf Hitler‘s ideas.
One of Trump’s biggest nemeses is ready to sound the alarm when it comes to the 2024 presidential election. Former President Barack Obama is signaling that he thinks Democrats could lose the election next year.
While people close to Obama are not calling on Biden to drop out of the race, they want him to realize that the danger of losing is real. The Wall Street Journal insider said that the movie producer “knows this is going to be a close race.”
The source also said that Obama “feels that Democrats very well could lose” and “the alternative is pretty dangerous for democracy.”
Interestingly, some in the Obama orbit like his former campaign manager David Axelrod have tried to tell Biden to take a hard look at his reelection prospects in recent months.
Mr. Biden has said that while he is not sure he would be running if Trump was not a candidate, it is probably too late to drop out of the race.
The president is facing some unprecedented challenges. His age, inflation, immigration, and the situation in the Middle East are some of the top concerns for voters.
While experts believe that the economy could be in decent shape in time for the election, the age factor will always remain a major issue. At 81, Biden is already the oldest person to ever hold this job.
Moreover, he is hoping a deal on border security would slow down the arrival of new migrants. However, while senators are working on a framework, the House is not a sure bet to tackle the problem.
Trump is leading the polling average by 2 points. He has never been in such a strong position since he launched his political career. Democrats argue that voters are not yet focused on the election, and 2024 is likely to be an eventful year for Trump in court.
Critics say that time is running out for the incumbent to change the trajectory of the race, and his former boss, Obama, seems to agree with that assertion.
