A pro-Bernie Sanders group that will launch a campaign to force Joe Biden from making a reelection bid in 2024, has bluntly characterized his performance in the high office so far as “neither bold nor inspiring,” amid polls that indicate the president’s support among Democratic voters is at an all-time low.
RootsAction, which had supported the presidential bid of Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., in 2016 and 2020, said Monday it will launch the campaign in November. The campaign was announced on the heels of a poll that indicated more than 60% of Democrats prefer a different presidential candidate other than Biden in the next election.
In a press release, RootsAction said “President Biden has been neither bold nor inspiring” at a time when “the stakes could not be higher.” The group noted that the goal is to prevent Republicans from taking over the White House in 2024. “The threat of a neofascist GOP has become all too obvious. Bold and inspiring leadership from the Oval Office will be essential.”
