The discussion revolves around the potential challenges President Biden might face in his re-election bid in 2024. There's growing concern among voters about his age, the impeachment inquiry, his running mate, and their poor approval ratings. This has been noted by media outlets like NBC News and the Washington Post, causing anxiety within the Democratic party.
Senator Ted Cruz has been suggested as a potential candidate to replace Biden, with the prediction of what's on tap in August of 2024. There's speculation that Michelle Obama could parachute into the race, with Barack Obama already running the Biden Administration. The odds of Michelle Obama parachuting in in August of 2024 have reportedly risen dramatically.
The panelists debate this, with some suggesting that Biden should spend more time meeting people, hearing from real voters, and focusing on the issues that matter to them. Others argue that Biden's approval rating among Democrats is low, and that he needs to improve his numbers to win the election.
The discussion also touches on the dress code in the Senate, with some panelists expressing concern that the relaxed dress code could debase the institution. The panelists also discuss the potential for other candidates to parachute into the race, with the suggestion that Democrats might need to look for an escape valve.
