Former Obama adviser David Axelrod issued a warning on Wednesday, expressing concerns about President Biden's ability to secure a victory in the upcoming election following the recent assassination attempt on former President Trump.
Axelrod, speaking at the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee, emphasized that while he had worked closely with Biden and acknowledged his long-standing service to the country, the current circumstances were not favorable for the President's reelection prospects.
He stated, 'This is not the conclusion that Joe Biden would want for his career. It is evident that he needs to consider stepping aside to enhance the chances of winning a race that he deems as crucial.'
Axelrod further highlighted the necessity for Biden to exit the race, indicating that the discussions would likely revolve around potential replacements, with Vice President Kamala Harris emerging as a probable candidate for the position.
While Harris appears to be a likely contender, Axelrod suggested that the final decision regarding Biden's replacement remains uncertain. However, he emphasized that it is clear that Biden's current standing does not position him favorably to secure a victory in the upcoming election.
