Democrats Have A New Worry For 2024, And It’s Not Trump

In an intriguing turn of events, influential Democrats are growing increasingly uneasy about the unending saga surrounding Hunter Biden, and how it might spell doom for President Joe Biden’s chances in the 2024 presidential race. It’s worth noting that Joe Biden’s capacity to tie shoelaces is currently a subject of speculation.

Consider these intriguing facts:

FiveThirtyEight’s analysis paints a grim picture: Biden currently holds the rather unfortunate distinction of being the least favored president in modern U.S. history.
According to a CNN Poll, a staggering 67 percent of respondents express dissatisfaction with Biden’s handling of the economy, a pivotal concern for the 2024 election.
Even among Democrats, a growing number are grappling with doubts about Biden’s ability to perform effectively due to his advanced age, as per Redfield & Wilton Strategies.

It’s a daunting task to envision any of the aforementioned factors taking a turn for the better for Biden. With each passing day, Joe’s cognitive faculties seem to be waning, while the liberal media appears to be turning a blind eye to this undeniable reality.

The Messenger reports that Democratic insiders are now plagued by the fear that the never-ending Hunter Biden scandal could be the proverbial last straw that crushes Joe’s already improbable bid for re-election. A Democratic operative who was involved in Hillary Clinton’s ill-fated 2016 campaign expressed their concerns:

“I have a sense of foreboding about it. The email controversy may have been frivolous, but it served as a distraction, and it was effective. This Hunter saga has the potential to wreck Biden’s chances.”

Joe Biden has been less than forthcoming about his involvement in his son’s dubious international business dealings from the outset. On one hand, he vehemently claims that he’s never broached the subject of his son’s business ventures. On the other hand, he asserts that Hunter hasn’t engaged in any illicit activities. The stark inconsistency between these two assertions raises legitimate questions.

Democratic strategist Brad Bannon succinctly captures the essence of the situation:

“Hunter Biden isn’t the most pressing political issue facing his father, but it represents an unwelcome distraction for a beleaguered president grappling with concerns over the economy and age. The controversy surrounding Hunter Biden’s financial dealings could play a role for Republicans akin to what Hillary Clinton’s emails did in 2016.”

Meanwhile, House Oversight Ranking Member Jamie Raskin (D-Md.), a divisive figure in Congress, attempts to put a positive spin on the Biden predicament:

“I’m unsure whether it’s inflicting damage or not. I’m hopeful that the American public can see beyond it. They likely perceive this as their best shot to cast a shadow over the Biden family and hope it tarnishes Joe.”

Memo to Mr. Raskin: What exactly should the American public see through? Joe Biden’s track record as a habitual fabricator is legendary. His proclivity for untruths has soared to such heights that even he may struggle to discern fact from fiction, particularly concerning his wayward son.

As for the plummeting approval ratings of the Biden clan, here are several recent astonishing statistics:

– ABC News/Ipsos: A considerable proportion of Americans lack faith in how the Justice Department managed the inquiry into Hunter Biden.
– Yahoo/YouGov: A majority of voters are of the opinion that President Joe Biden engaged in criminal activity in connection with Hunter Biden.
– TIPP: A staggering 63 percent of respondents believe that Joe Biden violated the Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA) by assisting Hunter Biden in a Ukraine deal.

In the realm of politics, one should avoid saying “never” because anything is plausible. Nonetheless, with each passing day, the odds of Joe Biden prevailing in the 2024 presidential election, let alone securing the Democratic nomination, appear to be swirling down the figurative drain.
