Former Obama adviser David Axelrod recently commented on President Biden's standing in the battleground states, noting that he is trailing former President Trump. Axelrod expressed concerns about Biden's chances of winning the race, stating that he would need a 'royal flush' to secure victory.
Following a lackluster debate performance last month, there have been calls from various media figures and Biden allies for the president to consider stepping down from the race. Axelrod highlighted that Biden has been consistently behind in polling data for the past 10 months, with recent analytics indicating that he is falling further behind in key battleground states.
Axelrod acknowledged that while it is theoretically possible for Biden to win, the real question at hand is the likelihood of that outcome. Given the high stakes of the election, some Democratic officials are contemplating whether a different candidate might have a better chance of success.
Ultimately, the decision on whether Biden should continue his campaign rests on the assessment of his odds of winning and the potential benefits of having another candidate represent the Democratic Party in the race. The ongoing discussions within the party reflect a growing sense of uncertainty about Biden's ability to secure victory in the upcoming election.
