You\u2019ve heard there\u2019s not exactly unanimity in your party. People like Chairwoman Carolyn Maloney said she doesn\u2019t think he will run. Congressman Dean Phillips says he doesn\u2019t want him to run. Do you think President Biden is the best candidate in 2024?\u201d<\/p>\n<figure id=\"D-ROS-B1\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B1\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"gmxrevmore\" class=\"H\"><\/figure>\n<p>Blumenthal said, \u201cI\u2019m going to be very blunt and very honest with you. My focus is totally on this November because I am running for re-election. But also, I think this November\u2019s gonna determine how successful President Biden is in the next two years and how strong he would be as a candidate. We need to elect more Democrat senators to assure he can appoint judges, he can achieve pro-choice legislation, he can continue the forward momentum of the economy, lower inflation. We are making tremendous progress. The Inflation Reduction Act is one example. The veterans burn pits legislation, which I helped to lead, very important.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B2\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<p>Bash asked, \u201cYour non-answer is going to likely be perceived as an intentional dodge. You won\u2019t say, yes, I support President Biden.
