Political commentator and elections analyst Nate Silver is sounding the alarm about President Joe Biden’s chances of winning reelection, writing in a Substack post that Biden is “losing” and appears to have no clear plan to right the ship.
While Silver believes that Biden was “a reasonably clear favorite” a year ago, he now believes that he’s “probably the underdog” due to his poor approval rating, dearth of “contingencies that could improves his situation,” as well as public perception of his age and abilities.
The FiveThirtyEight founder went on to argued that if Biden won’t run a “normal” campaign during which he would accept interview requests and other high-profile opportunities to improve his situation, he should step aside...
Biden could drop out of the race and allow Democrats to pick their nominee at their convention in August. “If the past couple of weeks are any evidence, it might nevertheless be Democrats’ best option for beating Trump,” he wrote. But failing that, his prescription for the Biden campaign is to complete four challenging interviews over the course of the next few weeks.
“This really isn’t too much to ask. These are the sorts of interviews that every other recent president has done,” submitted Silver, who concluded that if he can’t, “it’s awfully audacious to ask Americans to make him president for another four years.”

BTW there are sample ballots in our state newspapers and Dean Phillips is not on the ballot for the Democrat nomination. He hasn't dropped out of the race.
Looks like we might just have some "democracy" coming our way at the DNC convention this August.
The dems have a plan, its called putting Trump in jail or killing him, that is their plan..oh and mail in ballots, ballot harvesting, etc to steal it again
Their plan is to bankrupt Trump and/or imprison him and anyone of significance who is on his campaign team or potential staff/cabinet members.
Their problem is this fascist approach all obvious to most independent voters and all Republican voters and it turns out it turns people away from an oppressive regime.
I noticed that when Kamala Harris audaciously stepped forward saying
she was “ready to serve,” the sound of silence that ensued was deafening.
Oh, he has a plan. Bankrupt Trump and put him in jail.
You have posted correctly.
No one told her to make ‘em a sammich and serve it with a cold beer?
For shame.
I feel like God is going to play a big joke on the USA
Something like - Biden will suddenly die a week before the election, but with mail-in ballots and deep-state machinery cranked up, he’ll still win.
Then what?
No one told Kamalama to make ‘em a sammich and serve it with a cold beer?
For shame.
I’m sure there is a plan.
This thing just might get ugly.Assuming that Rat Party Headquarters wants to replace both The Big Guy *and* Heels Up I don’t see either of them going quietly.
If Biden died a week before the election , people would still vote for the Democratic ticket. Remember that when we go to vote we do not vote directly for a president but we vote for presidential electors.
I don’t know what happens if you have a deceased candidate who the electors are pledged to vote for. The electors Gather in each state to vote in the middle of December well after election day. Do they vote for the ticket they are pledged to and then the vice president becomes president? I wonder what would happen.
There is no panic if you assume you know the outcome. It’s kinda scary.
What is he worried about? Its all been baked in.
Same plan as 2020.
It’s not too late for a pandemic.
Nate Silver is trying to lull the normally already complacent Republicans and a number of independents into not striving for a full, complete, overwhelming and convincing victory in November 2024.
After all, if Biden is going to fail anyway, what is the point of busting your horns trying to come together and provide total, unstinting, unconditional and sweeping support for Donald J. Trump?
For evil to triumph, it is only necessary for good people to do nothing.
John Ashcroft lost to a guy who died when he ran for a senate seat in 2000. The governor replaced him with his widow.
That wasn’t a presidential election so not sure what would happen.
“The dems have a plan, its called putting Trump in jail or killing him, that is their plan..oh and mail in ballots, ballot harvesting, etc to steal it again.”
Absolutely, just like Putin’s Final Solution to the Navalny Problem. Indeed, I suspect he’s itching to Epstein Trump if he manages to jail Trump.
