As the November election looms, Democrats are increasingly panicking over President Joe Biden’s prospects in the upcoming race for the White House.
Talk of replacing Biden at the top of his party’s 2024 ticket is building just months out from the high-stakes presidential election.
The sense of mounting anxiety on the Left was captured in a recent interview with veteran Democrat strategist James Carville.
Carville, who served as the lead strategist in Bill Clinton’s winning 1992 Presidential campaign, is known for his cantankerous criticism of the progressive elites who currently run the party.
He used a vulgarity to blast his party’s messaging as elitist, out of touch, and “full of sh*t.”
The anti-Trump “conservative” outlet Washington Examiner is now also raising concerns about Biden’s chances in the election.
Washington Examiner editor Quin Hilyer encouraged Democrats to go a step beyond Carville’s advice.
Hilyer argues that Democrats will need to boot Biden from the ticket altogether if the party hopes to beat President Donald Trump.
“Carville is right,” Hillyer wrote.
“If Democrats really do think former President Donald Trump is a menace to the nation and the world, they need to put up a stronger candidate than Biden to beat him.
“To do so, they also need to stop kowtowing to the woke Left and start appealing to the very broad center of the electorate.”
Despite campaigning as a centrist four years ago, Biden has governed firmly from the Left on everything from immigration to the war in Hamas-controlled Gaza.
As he fights for a second term, Biden has put considerable energy into trying to erase the results of his first.
Rather than facing up to the border crisis he created, Biden is instead blaming Trump for the flood of illegal immigration.
Biden is also gaslighting the American people by touting an economic recovery that few believe is real.
Inflated prices and borrowing costs have crushed the middle class, making many nostalgic for the Trump economy.
The Southern Border crisis has become a top concern as well.
Trump’s border policies were highly successful.
The border crisis was triggered when Biden overturned Trump’s immigration policies.
Meanwhile, Biden’s age and mental fitness are a recurring topic of conversation.
Carville, who coined the maxim “it’s the economy, stupid*” as a strategist for Bill Clinton, blasted the Left’s priorities as mixed up.
He is urging Democrats to focus on the cost of living rather than catering to the concerns of affluent liberals.
“Talk about cost of living and ‘We’re gonna help deal with this,’” Carville said.
“Don’t talk about f**king Gaza and student loans.”
WATCH:
Despite the jitters gripping Democrats, Biden has been protected by a perceived lack of viable alternatives.
Michelle Obama has rejected speculation of running, despite indications that she would be a more popular choice than Biden.
Meanwhile, Vice President Kamala Harris is widely viewed as unfit to take the reins.
At least for now, it seems that speculation of a palace coup against Biden isn’t going away.
But there isn’t much time for the party to change horses.
When the Democrats get desperate, however, expect the unexpected.
