MacKinnon, a former speechwriter for Presidents Ronald Reagan and George H.W. Bush, raises concerns about Biden&#8217;s age, gaffes, and lack of press conferences.<\/p>\n<p>According to MacKinnon, even some staunch supporters of the president are feeling &#8220;nervous&#8221; and &#8220;uncomfortable&#8221; about his potential run in 2024. While the White House may dismiss such speculation, MacKinnon believes the optimal time for Biden to drop out is &#8220;immediately.&#8221;<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<h3>A Historical Parallel<\/h3>\n<p>MacKinnon draws a striking parallel between Biden&#8217;s situation and that of former President Lyndon Johnson. In 1968, Johnson dropped out of the race just six months before Election Day, with a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/governors-race-winner-glenn-youngkin-vows-to-change-the-trajectory-of-democrat-run-virginia-transformation-starts-day-one\/\" title=\"Governor\u2019s Race Winner Glenn Youngkin Vows to \u2018Change the Trajectory\u2019 of Democrat-Run Virginia; Transformation Starts \u2018Day One\u2019\">dismal approval rating<\/a> of 38.7%. Biden&#8217;s current rating stands at 41.2%, not much higher.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>MacKinnon also highlights the fear among Democrats that Vice President Kamala Harris may step in and win the nomination. Harris&#8217;s approval rating is even worse than Biden&#8217;s at 39.2%. Furthermore, Biden himself has expressed doubts about Harris&#8217;s ability to beat a Republican candidate in 2024.<\/p>\n<p>Another concerning aspect of Biden&#8217;s campaign is his lackluster effort. With only 20 aides and no official headquarters, Biden&#8217;s approach, while cost-effective, may hinder his ability to define the campaign&#8217;s narrative. This stands in stark contrast to Barack Obama&#8217;s proactive strategy in 2008.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<h3>A Predicted Outcome<\/h3>\n<p>MacKinnon boldly predicts that Biden will not run in 2024. Instead, he believes Biden will drop out once a more appealing and younger candidate, such as California Governor Gavin Newsom, enters the race. Newsom currently enjoys a 56% approval rating among state residents.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>So why is Biden running a &#8220;bargain-basement&#8221; campaign? According to MacKinnon, it&#8217;s because he&#8217;s not really running at all. The lack of enthusiasm and energy surrounding Biden&#8217;s campaign suggests that he may not be fully committed to the race.<\/p>\n<p><em>Please note that the views expressed in this article are the author&#8217;s own and do not necessarily reflect those of The Daily Wire.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Joseph Curl, a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/mystery-swirls-after-cocaine-found-in-white-house-west-wing\/\" title=\"Cocaine discovery in White House West Wing sparks mystery.\">seasoned political journalist<\/a> with 35 years of experience, including 12 years as a White House correspondent, wrote this piece.
