Joe Biden is not fit to serve as President of the United States. And it seems that even his supporters understand that.
Because the White House’s shocking remarks leave Americans wondering about Biden’s future.
In a heated exchange on Tuesday, Fox News White House correspondent Peter Doocy pressed White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre on whether the Biden administration is panicking over President Joe Biden’s re-election prospects.
This comes in the wake of a POLITICO article indicating significant anxiety within the Democratic Party about Biden’s chances in 2024.
The POLITICO article, titled “Dems in full-blown ‘freakout’ over Biden,” highlighted the growing concerns among Democrats.
It noted, “One adviser to major Democratic donors keeps a running list of reasons Biden could lose,” reflecting the pervasive fear within the party’s highest ranks.
The article suggested that despite previous confidence, many Democratic officeholders and strategists are now deeply worried about the upcoming election battle with former President Donald Trump.
Doocy’s question to Jean-Pierre was direct: “Are you guys here at the White House in full-blown freak-out mode?”
Jean-Pierre, appearing taken aback and feigning ignorance of the POLITICO article, responded, “What are you talking about? What are you talking about?”
“There’s a — there’s a —” Doocy began, before Jean-Pierre cut him off, “Peter —”
Doocy continued, “— POLITICO story. It sounds like Democrats, outside —” he persisted, quoting the article that cited Biden’s persistently poor polling and the high stakes of the election as sources of Democratic “freakout,” according to a Democratic operative.

Jean-Pierre dodged the question, saying, “So again, I’m really mindful — I’m not going to comment on 2024 election,” and pivoted to discussing Biden’s empathy for the American people, stating, “I will say this — uh — the President has never forgotten where he comes — where he came from, who he is. He understands what the American people are going through as they’re sitting around the kitchen table.”
The POLITICO article painted a grim picture for Biden’s re-election campaign.
It noted that a “pervasive sense of fear has settled in at the highest levels of the Democratic Party over President Joe Biden’s reelection prospects, even among officeholders and strategists who had previously expressed confidence about the coming battle with Donald Trump. … nearly five months from the election, anxiety has morphed into palpable trepidation, according to more than a dozen party leaders and operatives. And the gap between what Democrats will say on TV or in print, and what they’ll text their friends, has only grown as worries have surged about Biden’s prospects.”
This anxiety is compounded by the fact that former President Trump, despite numerous legal battles and controversies, is leading Biden in most battleground states.
The article highlighted that Trump raised significantly more money in April, and the landscape for Democrats may worsen with Trump’s legal issues potentially resolving favorably and Hunter Biden’s trial set to begin in Delaware.
The POLITICO report also revealed that a Democratic adviser to major party donors has compiled a list of nearly two dozen reasons why Biden could lose.
The adviser bleakly remarked, “The list of why we ‘could’ win is so small I don’t even need to keep the list on my phone.”
As Biden’s approval ratings continue to struggle and concerns about his age and cognitive abilities persist, the Democratic Party faces a significant challenge.
The party’s internal conflicts and external pressures are becoming increasingly visible, leading to a lack of confidence among its ranks.
