Joe Biden, the Democratic president, is facing some major obstacles as he gears up for his re-election bid in 2024. First off, a whopping 40 percent of folks are actually worse off financially now than they were during the previous administration. Inflation is sky high, and the new jobs that are popping up are mostly just part-time gigs. We’re also floundering on the international front, with President Biden thinking it’s a swell idea to float aid into a dangerous area, putting our brave troops in serious danger.
'Meh': Biden Met Lukewarm Reactions in Liberal College Town, and That Might Be Generous https://t.co/clEdQZQy8V

But that’s not all! Biden is sorely lacking in the political charisma department that his former boss, Barack Obama, had oodles of. Love him or hate him, Obama had a way of rallying the people that ol’ Joe just can’t seem to match. I mean, come on, Biden’s presidential campaigns in the past were pretty much train wrecks, so why would it be any different this time around?
This whole kerfuffle is even spilling out into the college towns, which used to be solid Democratic stomping grounds. But now, with young voters all riled up about Biden’s stance on the Israel-Hamas War, these towns are no longer a sure thing for the Dems.
States like Wisconsin, which have been crucial for Democratic victories, are now up for grabs. Even in Madison, a key liberal stronghold, there’s a growing sense of discontent among college students. In the last round of primaries, nearly 50,000 voters decided to use their ballots to protest Biden’s Israel support. That’s a big chunk of potential supporters giving ol’ Joe the cold shoulder.
And it doesn’t stop there. A poll found that young voters are less jazzed about hitting the polls in 2024 than they were in 2020, and they’re not exactly feeling hopeful about the whole election sitch either. Biden’s legislative accomplishments are as scarce as hen’s teeth, unless you count the COVID bill that caused inflation to shoot through the roof.
To add insult to injury, Biden’s administration is trying to pat themselves on the back for Obamacare, a policy that he had zilch to do with. It’s like taking credit for cookies your neighbor baked. Plus, he’s trying to ride the coattails of the Obama glory days, but let’s face it—those days are over. The Obama coalition is in shambles, and now the Dems are sweating over how college towns might sway in 2024.
With all this in mind, it’s no wonder the Dems are feeling a bit wobbly about their chances. Biden seems to be stumbling at every turn, and it’s becoming clearer than ever that the 2024 election might just be Big T’s to lose. The Democrats have a candidate who may not have what it takes.
The whole situation is like watching a squirrel try to water ski – entertaining for sure, but ultimately doomed to fail.
