Left-Wing Fundraising Group Launches ‘Don’t Run Joe’ Campaign Over Fears of 2024 Republican Victory

A left-wing activist group that fundraised for Joe Biden’s 2020 presidential campaign doesn’t want the aging president to run for a second term, citing his poor approval ratings and growing risk of losing to the Republicans.

RootsAction, which also backed Senator Bernie Sanders during his 2016 presidential campaign, abruptly withdrew support for Biden’s potential 2024 campaign, as it would be a “tragic mistake” should he be renominated. “While I appreciate the many good things that Biden has proposed—  specifically, student debt relief and the American Rescue Plan— I am not confident that Joe Biden is the leader we need to take us into the next term,” wrote the group’s New Hampshire representative Sherry Frost in a statement.

Frost referred to “the fatal dysfunction in our economy” and the president’s cozy relations with “the military-industrial complex and oligarchy” as reasons behind the group’s ‘Don’t Run Joe’ movement. As such, RootsAction believes a new, perhaps more youthful candidate is the only hope to “give Democrats a fighting chance” against the Republican’s 2024 campaign. Indeed, according to a Reuters/Ipsos poll, Biden’s approval rating sunk to 36% in July, before briefly rising to 39% right before the midterm elections.

Biden will be 82 years of age by the time 2024 comes around, but nonetheless he expressed his “intention” to run again, promising to unveil further details in the new year. Although he said that “everybody wants me to run,” several prominent Democrats, including Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Joe Manchin, have thus far refrained from endorsing the president.
