The discussion revolves around the potential political challenges President Biden may face in 2024, particularly around his age, the impeachment inquiry, and his son's poor approval ratings. There are growing concerns among voters and the media, with NBC News and The Washington Post noting the anxiety within the Democratic Party.
Senator Ted Cruz predicts that in August 2024, Joe Biden may be replaced by Michelle Obama, who is already running the Biden administration. However, Kevin Walling, a former Biden campaign surrogate, argues that Barack Obama is not pulling the strings and that Joe Biden has an 81% approval rating among Democrats. He also points out that registered voters are 60% against Biden and his vice president.
The conversation then shifts to the economy and inflation as the number one issue, with climate change and transgender rights also being mentioned. The participants believe that Biden is failing and that the Democrats need to find an escape valve. They suggest that someone who can win an election, such as Michelle Obama or Gavin Newsom, could be a viable alternative to Biden.
