According to the New York Times, President Biden has shown growing interest in a potential re-election bid at a state dinner with French President Emmanuel Macron last week, fueling Biden’s 2024 campaign. . However, veteran GOP strategist and Fox News correspondent Karl Rove believes that Biden will ultimately not be the Democratic nominee, and that if he is, it will be a “huge mistake” for the party.
“I don’t think Biden will ultimately be the nominee,” Rove said. “The country is not excited about a struggling 82-year-old. About the only person he can beat is Donald J. Trump.”
While the president is mulling a potential run over the holidays, according to White House chief of staff Ron Klein, potential Democratic primary rivals still won’t agree to publicly endorse the Biden 2024 ticket.
According to Rove, “Anyone who can identify as a traditional, smart Democrat — except for Biden” — will win the Democratic nomination and potentially the presidency.
Rumor has it that most DEMS will not agree to support Biden in the 2024 presidential election.

After the Georgia Senate runoff, some even listed newly re-elected Sen. Raphael Warnock as a Democratic challenger to Biden.
“If Warnock had been challenged by a traditional Republican who was less Trump-embraced and capable of running a credible campaign, Warnock would have been defeated. Republicans have won every statewide race in Georgia this year without a runoff, except for the U.S. Senate race,” Rowe said.
On the Republican side, the number of potential GOP primary challengers to former President Trump continues to grow. The list of potential candidates includes Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, Virginia Governor Glenn Youngkin, Florida Senator Marco Rubio, South Carolina Senator Tim Scott, former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, former UN Ambassador Nikki Haley and former Vice President Mike Pence. Other than Trump, no other Republican has indicated his intention to run.

Trump, who launched his 2024 presidential campaign in November, has been frustrated by some in his own party blaming the former president for the GOP’s poor showings in midterm elections and its involvement in backing unelectable candidates in the primaries.
“After three kicks in the head — losing in 2018, losing in 2020 and losing in 2022 — I think Republicans are really focused on winning.” , said Rov.
According to Rove, a winning strategy for Republicans does not include the former president as a candidate in 2024.
In some ways, the current political climate mirrors that of 2016, when Trump’s presidential ambitions were met by a wall of Republican opposition. Despite that fluke, Rove has dismissed the idea that the country is headed for a repeat of the 2016 election — in part because he expects the number of candidates to be far lower than 2016’s 17 Republican candidates.
“The country is facing big challenges and we need to have stable leadership and someone who can serve two terms to right the ship and get the country back on track,” Rove said. . “Donald Trump cannot be a stable leader. As he has demonstrated over the past few months, he will be as chaotic as he calls for the repeal of the Constitution.”

Asked if there was a need for a reshuffle of party leadership after the midterm elections, Rov backed Ronna McDaniel to serve another term as chair of the Republican National Committee. McDaniel faces challenges from former Trump lawyer Harmeet Dhillon and MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell.
