Democratic strategist David Axelrod on Saturday called discussions about replacing President Biden at the top of the Democratic ticket “irrelevant,” as the party continues to face the fallout from the Thursday night debate.
The former Obama White House senior adviser said the appropriate time to have the discussion would have been last year.
“Reality check: @JoeBiden is the nominee of the Democratic Party, nominated by voters in primaries across the country,” Axelrod wrote on the social platform X. “Unless the @POTUS, himself, decides to quit — which he won’t — that issue is settled.”
“The discussion that is going on now was timely a year ago, when few wanted to have it. It’s largely irrelevant today,” he continued.
Biden’s shaky debate performance on Thursday has spurred conversations among Democrats about whether he should remain atop the ticket. Biden and key allies have launched a fierce campaign to defend Biden and assure the public that he is the right person for the job.
In a panel discussion immediately following the debate, Axelrod cast doubt on former President Trump’s ability to inspire the Republican base, and suggested a non-Biden Democrat would likely beat Trump.
“If, for whatever reason, there’s a change at the top of the ticket, you guys are in trouble with Donald Trump. Because the guy who was up there tonight is not a guy who’s going to inspire people,” Axelrod said of Trump on CNN. “He did not show in any way that he has changed from the guy who people have a very positive opinion of, for a lot of good reason.”
Axelrod said Thursday “there was a sense of shock” about Biden’s performance at the beginning of the debate, pointing to his raspy voice and “disoriented” disposition. He added that Biden “did get stronger as the debate...

Smell that?
That’s the smell of fear from The Democrat Party Organized Crime Dyndicate.
Axelrod is either lying or out of the loop.
Fasten your seat belts, folks.
We are not in Kansas anymore.
Ha!! This tells me they are STUCK with their imbecile!
Time to drive up President Trumps negatives so a dead yellow dog can beat him in the election under way.
Republicans waiting for Democrats so they can act accordingly pending
Hadn’t seen Axelrod in years. Forgot how repulsive he is. A true traitor to America. Poster boy for Marxist-Leninist overthrower of our way of life.
I feel like I need a shower after seeing him spout his filth.
Axelrod is irrelevant.
Axelrod is facing reality and admitting that the replacement ship has long since sailed.
“shaky debate performance”
They keep calling it that. Idiots.
They’d better use the 25th amendment or a rubber hose to get him the hell outa there.
“The former Obama White House senior adviser said the appropriate time to have the discussion would have been last year.”
This is absolutely fascinating to watch; I can’t turn away from it.
Because democrats almost always march in lockstep conservatives automatically think they are organized and know what they are doing.
This Biden fiasco - entirely foreseeable - demonstrates democrats are not smart and are totally unable to calculate distant consequences.
I hope many ads are being put together from that ‘debate’.
Everything that’s been said about Trump has been said. He’s been attacked by Democrat, media, neocons, the federal government, state woke lawyers. Been there, done that. We’re heard it all before. I don’t see how you drive up his negatives at this point.
The ONLY thing they can do is jail him, but I think that’d create a fire storm.
I doubt anyone serious is listening to Axelrod anyway, but he is mistaken here. The last chance for timely action is now and the Dems are frittering it away looking for a frame for the narrative. By mid-July it really will be too late and the only question is whether there’s enough formaldehyde in DC to make this rotting corpse look like a candidate.
So true. This is a total mess, and they are at a total loss.
Putting out Biden’s dirty laundry early in the campaign complete.

So what’s going on since the “Great Debate Debacle” of 2024 has been prearranged? Lol
Trump vs a “dead yellow dog nobody” will yield a victory for Orange Secretariat.
However, you’re almost correct on how the Establishment of the United States operates:
2016 rigged for Trump
2020 rigged for Biden
2024 rigged for Trump
As a supporter of the 45th President, I can’t share in your negativity..... I’m happy & optimistic😀
Either Joe is fit to stand trial or he isn’t, DUmocrats. Face it assclowns, this is as good as it gets for you.
