Who will tell Biden? The dread of 2024 - with A.B. Stoddard

Subscribe to Call Me Back - with Dan SenorSubscribe

Many Democratic activists, strategists, donors, officeholders, and party leaders are privately discussing the weaknesses of President Biden's candidacy, heading into what now appears to be a very competitive 2024 election. But is anyone telling President Biden? Is anyone credible and viable willing to challenge President Biden for the Democratic nomination? We are constantly told that American democracy hangs in the balance. Wouldn't this be the time? These are some of the topics we discuss with A.B. Stoddard, long-time Washington, DC journalist (currently with the Bulwark, formerly with The Hill and Real Clear Politics).

Read A.B.'s piece that we discuss in this episode: "To Beat Trump, Democrats Need a Whitmer-Warnock Ticket" https://plus.thebulwark.com/p/to-beat-trump-democrats-need-whitmer-warnock

    I just live in a different reality that AB Stoddard. She says Trump is an existential threat to "our democracy." This after Biden failed in Afghanistan, was prepared to spend $400 Billion in Loan "forgiveness" with out congressional approval, violates the 1st amendment in an attempt to silence conservatives, and is trying to jail his main political rival. How again is Trump (for all his faults) the threat?

    She stated that she was afraid of Trump being re-elected, because there would be no more elections after that. Trump would simply turn the presidency over to his children. When I heard that, near the end of the podcast, I realized I had been wasting my time listening to this ridiculous, unserious person. But I guess she fits right in at the Bulwark.
