A Biden 2024 campaign isn’t worth the added difficulty that comes from his deep unpopularity. The Democratic Party should strongly consider embracing another candidate — or at least a truly open primary.
There have been months of conversation about the president’s political standing. But we are in a new moment. A number of recent polls have shown President Biden struggling in key swing states and among traditionally Democratic-leaning parts of the electorate, such as younger voters. At the same time, Democratic victories in Kentucky, Ohio and Virginia last week suggest Americans are fine with the Biden-led party. And we are now two months from the start of voting in the primary process, with former president Donald Trump the clear favorite in the Republican field.
How can we reconcile the seeming contradiction between an unpopular president and a popular party?
