So bad that even the mainstream media \u2014 and we\u2019re talking the biggies, like The New York Times and CNN \u2014 are bailing hard, saying he shouldn\u2019t run for re-election in 2024 and offering up a slate of nearly a dozen Democrats who\u2019d be better than he is at running America.<\/p>\n<p>Last week, a New York Times columnist implored Biden \u2014 who turned 79 last month and would be 82 if he were sworn into office again in 2025 \u2014 not to run for president again.<\/p>\n<p>Bret Stephens, a strong critic of former President Donald Trump, said Biden should announce his decision to drop out as soon as possible to give fellow Democrats time to prepare to succeed him in the White House.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIs it a good idea for Joe Biden to run for reelection in 2024? And, if he runs again and wins, would it be good for the United States to have a president who is 86 \u2014 the age Biden would be at the end of a second term?\u201d he wrote. \u201cI put these questions bluntly because they need to be discussed candidly, not just whispered constantly,\u201d Stephens wrote in a piece headlined, \u201cBiden Should Not Run Again \u2014 and He Should Say He Won\u2019t.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Stephens also argued that it would be \u201cliberating\u201d for Biden\u2019s remaining time in office if he announced he planned to step down after one term.<\/p>\n<p>The author also noted that questions about Ronald Reagan\u2019s age swirled when he was serving his first term.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn the 1980s, it was fair game for reputable reporters to ask whether Ronald Reagan was too old for the presidency, at a time when he was several years younger than Biden is today. Donald Trump\u2019s apparent difficulty holding a glass and his constricted vocabulary repeatedly prompted unflattering speculation about his health, mental and otherwise. And Joe Biden\u2019s memory lapses were a source of mirth among his Democratic primary rivals, at least until he won the nomination,\u201d Stephens wrote.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, CNN offered up its list of potential replacements in a piece last week.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCombine President Joe Biden\u2019s age (he\u2019ll be 82 shortly after the 2024 election) and his ongoing political struggles (he\u2019s mired in the low 40s in job approval), and you get this: a series of stories examining whether Biden runs again and, if not, who might take his place,\u201d Chris Cillizza wrote in the piece.<\/p>\n<p>The list offered by the two mainstream media outlets \u2014 which heavily backed Biden in the 2020 campaign \u2014 includes Vice President Kamala Harris, who, like Biden, is suffering low approval ratings; Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg; and failed Georgia gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams, who is taking another shot at the office in 2022.<\/p>\n<p>The other names listed are Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer; Sen. Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts; Sen. Amy Klobuchar of Minnesota; Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo; New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy; Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker; former New Orleans Mayor Mitch Landrieu, who Biden has tapped as his infrastructure czar; and North Carolina Gov. Roy Cooper.<\/p>\n<p>Biden\u2019s problems have gotten so bad that a former White House doctor who served under former Presidents George W. Bush and Barack Obama and Trump is speculating about Biden\u2019s mental health.<\/p>\n<p>Ronny Jackson, who now serves as a congressman for Texas, said last month that Biden has \u201cage-related cognitive decline\u201d and is not \u201cmentally fit\u201d to serve as president.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAll I know is that he\u2019s got age-related cognitive decline, right. He is not mentally fit right now,\u201d Jackson said, the Washington Examiner reported. \u201cYou don\u2019t need to be a physician to look at him and to look at his behavior and some of the other stuff, just the way he shuffles away, stares off into space.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI know what that job entails, both physically and mentally, and how demanding it is. And I can tell you right now, I\u2019m 100% sure that Joe Biden is incapable of doing that job,\u201d the doctor added.<\/p>\n<p>Stephens seemed to agree in his Times piece. \u201cFrom some of his public appearances, Biden seems \u2026 uneven. Often cogent, but sometimes alarmingly incoherent. What\u2019s the reason? I have no idea. Do his appearances (including the good ones) inspire strong confidence that the president can go the distance in his current term, to say nothing of the next? No.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In conclusion, Stephens said Biden departing after four years \u201cneedn\u2019t diminish his presidency.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cGeorge H.W. Bush accomplished more in four years than his successor accomplished in eight. Greatness is often easier to achieve when good policies aren\u2019t encumbered by clever politics. Biden should think on it \u2014 and act soon,\u201d he wrote.<\/p>\n<p>When even CNN and the Times are bailing, maybe it\u2019s time Biden reconsider his plans to run in \u201924.<\/p>\n<p><em>Joseph Curl covered the White House for a dozen years and ran the Drudge Report for four years.
