Several Democrat lawmakers have expressed unease with President Biden's campaign and its operations as he faces sagging poll numbers and low popularity.
It's a viewpoint that aligns with other left-leaning individuals who have previously sounded the alarm, including a former aide to first lady Jill Biden. Still, Biden's re-election vehicle appears to have not made any significant changes despite the public outcry.
Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., is one such politician who worries about how Biden has approached the election. The Vermont independent, who caucuses with Democrats, said Biden needs to change course and believes the Israel-Hamas war has hurt the president's standing among younger voters.
"There is no question, it is very hard for young people, I think for most Americans, to be excited about what is going on right now," Sanders previously told CNN. "President [Biden] has got to change course."
Other Democrats in Congress' lower chamber, such as former House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer of Maryland, have also signaled apprehension over the campaign's direction.
"We all have concerns. We want to make sure it's a victorious campaign," Hoyer recently said, according to Roll Call.
"I think Joe Biden has had as successful an administration as any president, perhaps since Franklin Roosevelt," he said. "And our job is to make sure the American people know how it affected them and their families so positively."
Rep. Bennie Thompson, D-Miss., said he's "not real comfortable" with where the campaign is and feels the team needs more diversity.
"Well, I think those of us who helped Joe Biden get elected president are not real comfortable at this point with what we're seeing," Thompson recently said. "It just appears that the people who were engaged in helping craft the message and direction of the 2020 campaign are not actively involved in this campaign."

Yeah, Steny...We know how Biden’s policies have affected us. That’s why his numbers are in the toilet.
Why the concern over so:etching that doesn’t exist? Every morning Jill has to put a mirror under the cadaver’s nose.
Well, that strategy actually worked for these criminals. This year is turning out to be the same.
