David Axelrod, a former adviser to President Obama, criticized President Joe Biden’s confidence in his 2024 electoral prospects. Axelrod suggested that Biden’s team may not be fully transparent about his challenges, particularly regarding his age and slim odds of victory.
During a press conference, Biden expressed unwavering belief in his ability to defeat former President Donald Trump in the upcoming election. He dismissed any notion that his team could present data indicating he should reconsider his candidacy in favor of Vice President Kamala Harris.
If what he said at the end of his presser is true, it sounds like Biden's team has not been very candid with him about what the data is showing: the age issue is a huge and potentially insurmountable concern and his odds of victory are very, very slim.

Following a NATO summit, the press conference was closely watched by Democrats assessing Biden’s performance in unscripted settings post the dismal debate against Trump last month. Despite Biden’s assurance of his electability, his mix-up of names, referring to Harris as “Vice President Trump,” raised concerns about his cognitive acuity.
Earlier gaffes, like mistakenly labeling Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky as “President Putin,” have added to the doubts surrounding Biden’s cognitive sharpness. The incident highlighted potential vulnerabilities that could impact his re-election bid.
