A progressive group is calling for a new Democratic presidential nominee in 2024.
The group RootsAction is running an ad in New Hampshire featuring people who share reasons why President Joe Biden should not run again.
âItâs absolutely critical that we donât allow a Republican to win the White House in 2024,â one woman said.
She voiced concern about the presidentâs âlow popularityâ which she argued is âway too much of a gamble.â
As she speaks, the ad displays the result of an NBC midterm exit poll which found 67% of respondents said they do not want Biden to run again.
Meanwhile, a man argues the election will be at âserious riskâ if he decides to run again.
âJoe Biden running undermines the Democratic Partyâs chances in 2024,â a woman declares.
Watch the ad below:
The ad wraps up with another person saying, âWe canât afford to lose.â
It then features the other people in the ad saying, âDonât run, Joe.â
Earlier this year, Biden faced a barrage of stories asking if he will be too old to run for reelection.
But a series of legislative wins over the summer, and a better-than-expected midterm election for Democrats appear to have put concerns about 2024 on the back burner.
Biden has still not officially announced he is running again. But he has stated he intends to seek re-election.
In a Dec. 2021 interview with ABC News, Biden said, âLook, Iâm a great respecter of fate. Fate has intervened in my life many, many times. If Iâm in the health Iâm in now, if Iâm in good health, then, in fact, I would run again.â
He has also reportedly expressed frustration with those questioning his age.
According to Politico, he vented to one ally as he asked, âYou think I donât know how f***ing old I am?â
