Ex-Labor Secretary Robert Reich says President Biden is simply too outdated to hunt re-election — and he swears he’s not being “ageist.”
Reich is a distinguished Democrat — together with his occasion sending out a survey asking left-leaning voters to price his attraction on Monday after he urged the president to retire gracefully.
“Joe, please don’t run,” Reich wrote within the Guardian.
“It’s not death that’s the worrying thing about a second Biden term. It’s the dwindling capacities that go with aging,” he added within the Guardian column.
Biden is 79 and Reich is 76 and confesses to “a certain loss of, shall we say, fizz.”
He admits “the culture has flipped in so many ways” and it’s tough to maintain up. The actual query is who’s speaking to the Labor Secretary who served underneath Bill Clinton?
All you must do is have a look at the listing of the highest Democrats jockeying for the pole place in a 2024 presidential race if Biden by some means modifications his thoughts and bows out.
Hillary Clinton says she’s not contemplating a run — if Biden seeks re-election. Others who might beat her to the beginning line embrace Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg, Vice President Kamala Harris, Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders, Minnesota Sen. Amy Klobuchar and Bay State Sen. Elizabeth Warren.
All, particularly Warren, are making strikes to put themselves again within the public eye as Biden’s assist drops beneath 40% and he returns from this Mideast journey with combined outcomes.
On the Republican aspect, that area is wide-open and ready for former President Donald Trump to leap in or not.
