Progressive Group Runs Blunt New Ad: ‘Don’t Run, Joe’ | Eastern North Carolina Now

    The 2024 presidential election is still nearly 700 days away, but a grassroots group has a three-word message for President Biden: "Don't Run, Joe."

    A new minute-long ad from RootsAction, which describes itself on its Twitter page as a "progressive group that helped defeat Trump," aired this week in New Hampshire. The spot features real voters explaining why they don't want Biden, 80, to run again.

    "We can't afford to risk the White House to a Republican who could defeat Status Quo Joe," said one New Hampshire voter as images on the screen showed former President Donald Trump and Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, often mentioned as a frontrunner for the GOP nomination in 2024.

    "I'm concerned with Joe Biden's low polling," said another voter.

    Another said with Biden's "low popularity, he's way too much of a gamble." And yet another said, "If he runs, the election is at serious risk."

    And one more says, "Our ideas are way more popular than Joe Biden is."

    The ad is, of course, spot on. Pollsters with the CNBC All-America Economic Survey last week asked if Biden should run again and 70% said no - just 19% want him to go again.

    When broken down by party, a majority of Democrats (57%) said "Don't Run, Joe," along with 66% of independents.

    The poll found that 47% of those who don't think Biden should run cited age as a major reason, including 61% of Democrats and 66% of seniors, CNBC reported. The younger set was different: just 43% of the 18-49 demographic group cite age as a major reason for Biden, 80, not to run.

    Biden, whose job approval numbers teeter in the mid-30s, has "vented to allies" about all the talk surrounding his age and the election, according to a report.

    "You think I don't know how f***ing old I am?" a grumpy Biden said earlier this year, Politico reported.

    The CNBC poll didn't bring better news for former President Donald Trump: 61% of the public thinks Trump should not run again (even though he has already announced his bid). In addition, 37% of Republicans don't want him to run again; 61% of independents and 88% of Democrats agree.

    Norman Solomon, a joint founder of RootsAction, said Biden should "heed the voters of his party rather than simply declaring 'Watch me run for re-election.'"

    "His public approval ratings remain dismal, as they have been all year," Solomon said in a statement on Twitter. "No amount of bravado from the White House can change the severe vulnerabilities that a Biden 2024 campaign would face."

    Biden also isn't faring too well with the bookies - who, unlike pollsters, actually put their money where their mouths are.

    "Biden's crushed approval ratings and worsening betting odds are causing Democrats to wonder if he is the right figure to take on Trump in 2024," said Joe Short of Gambling.com. "According to the Wall Street Journal, Democrats expect him to go for a second term at the age of 82, but they're not sure he should."

Considering that Joe Biden is considered by so many to be the Imposter President: Is he actually knowledgeable enough, wise enough, patriotic enough to be this Constitutional Republic's president at this difficult point in these tumultuous times?

  Yes, Mr. Biden is thoughtful and kind, and just so different from the "Orange Man".

  No, this representation of "president" is either too corrupt, too stupid, or both to be a real president.

  I just want the fun guy, who knew how to make stuff work back.

Considering how abjectly corrupt and civilly abusive the Left has become regarding the corrosive effect of their elected leaders; their entrenched and ruling bureaucracy; employing their failed Education Industry as Indoctrinators; their collusive private sector operators, such as the terminally discredited Legacy Media and Big Tech censorship of Free Speech: What will be the best course forward for hardworking Middle Americans, including the Patriot Class?

  Withdraw from society, go underground and plan for a resurgence when it is feasible to do so.

  Work within the confines of better policy by the People's government, once good sense and sanity is restored in the electorate at large, to achieve such.

  Are you a crazy, nut-job Insurrectionist? Everything is perfect within our plan to achieve our intended goals for the Socialist Left.

  Secession to form a true Constitutional Republic.
