A recent FiveThirtyEight <a href=\"https:\/\/projects.fivethirtyeight.com\/biden-approval-rating\/\">survey<\/a> shows Biden\u2019s approval rating dropped below 39 percent, the lowest of every president in their first term since Truman.<\/p>\n<p>Michigan Democrat voter Nicole Farrier, 38, voted for Biden in 2020 and told the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2022\/07\/11\/us\/politics\/biden-approval-polling-2024.html\">New York Times <\/a>she wants a president with \u201cyounger blood.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>She said since Biden took office, she went from \u201cliving a comfortable lifestyle to I can\u2019t afford anything anymore,\u201d citing the increase in her cost of living.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI am so tired of all old people running our country,\u201d Farrier said. \u201cI don\u2019t want someone knocking on death\u2019s door.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>New York Republican voter John Waldron, 69, who also voted for Biden in 2020, told the New York Times he regrets voting for the current president.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI thought he was going to do something for this country, but now he\u2019s doing nothing,\u201d Waldron said.<\/p>\n<p>RootsAction co-founder Jeff Cohen told Politico while Biden dithers, progressive achievements \u2014 from abortion rights to the Clean Air Act \u2014 \u201cjust go out the window.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf you\u2019re in touch with Democratic Party activists,\u201d he said. \u201cThe frustration is palpable.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Cohen said the organization announced out of worry about Biden\u2019s performance, inability to fight for working people, and courage to stand up against Republicans and corporate obstruction.<\/p>\n<p>Norman Solomon, the organization\u2019s other co-founder, said it\u2019s become clear for many Democrats and others that Biden should not run again.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTo defeat Republicans and to effectively fight for progressive programs, we need Biden to be seen as a one-term president who will not be the Democratic nominee in 2024,\u201d Solomon said.<\/p>\n<p>Pia Gallegos, chair of the organization and co-founder of the Adelante Progressive Caucus of the New Mexico Democratic Party, said they need a president who won\u2019t cater to oil and gas lobbyists, the weapons industry, or the pharmaceutical companies but would rather serve the working families nationwide.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe need a president with the vision, courage, and power to achieve voting rights,\u201d Gallegos said, adding a rapid transition to renewable energy, universal health care, access to abortion in all states, and controls on assault weapons high-capacity magazines.<\/p>\n<p>In 2020, the group said progressive organizations like RootsActions secured Biden\u2019s victory over former President Donald Trump due to the \u201cvital help\u201d they provided in swing states. However, the organization regrets supporting the current president saying Biden\u2019s so-called \u201cmoderate\u201d policies failed to address progressive voters\u2019 concerns like climate change, student debt, and corporate price-gouging.<\/p>\n<p>RootsAction helped launch a campaign to impeach Trump on his inauguration day and again created another movement to vote him out during the 2020 presidential election. The organization initially supported Bernie Sanders for president in 2016 and 2020.<\/p>\n<p>The #DontRunJoe campaign officially launches on November 9, 2022 \u2014 the day after the midterm elections.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cA president is not his party\u2019s king, and he has no automatic right to renomination,\u201d the organization said. \u201cJoe Biden should not seek it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf he does, he will have a fight on his hands,\u201d the statement added.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A progressive organization that backed President Joe Biden during the 2020 presidential election announced Monday the \u201c# Don\u2019tRunJoe\u201d national campaign, which opposes his renomination in 2024.
