So what has Ignatius \u2014\u2063 and the \u200b<a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/developing-trump-to-meet-with-acting-defense-secretary-chris-miller-in-the-oval-office-at-330-pm\/\" title=\"DEVELOPING: Trump to Meet with Acting Defense Secretary Chris Miller in the Oval Office at 3:30 PM\">deep state apparatus<\/a> he \u200bspeaks for \u200d\u2014 \u2063so gloomy?<\/p>\n<p>Quite \u200dsimply, 2023 has not gone according \u200cto plan.<\/p>\n<p>Democrats were never planning to run \u200bon Joe Biden\u2019s accomplishments in \u200b2024. They know those accomplishments don\u2019t exist. The\u200d border is a mess, and everyone knows it.\u2062 Foreign policy is \u2062a mess, and everyone knows it. \u200cThey can\u200d massage the economic stats \u200ball they want, but they can\u2019t convince Americans struggling with exploding prices that the economy is actually good.<\/p>\n<p>So what was their plan for 2024? Simple: Make the actual issues irrelevant.<\/p>\n<p>2023, for the D.C. regime, was supposed to be about locking up\u2064 2024 far in advance of any ballots\u2064 being cast. In their vision, this was \u200cgoing\u200d to be the one where \u200cthey permanently destroyed \u2064Donald Trump and then took a yearlong victory lap into a triumphant 2025 and beyond. This was \u200cgoing to be a triumph of political machinery over political accomplishment.<\/p>\n<p>But the machine is\u2062 breaking down. Five core assumptions \u2062that\u200c were at the heart of Democrat plans have all gone up in smoke \u2014 or rather, exploded right \u2062in their faces.<\/p>\n<h2>1. The Indictments Backfired<\/h2>\n<ol>\n<li>The criminal indictment of \u2064Trump was supposed to send him into a downward spiral. The Democrats\u2019 reasoning was that \u201cno \u200dfuture, sitting,\u2063 or former president has ever been indicted \u2064for\u2063 a felony.\u201d Tag Trump with the mark of a criminal, they figured, and \u2063his followers would abandon\u200c him. Trump would collapse\u200c inward, \u2064obsessing entirely over his personal legal drama and forgetting\u200d about \u2064national issues and Biden\u2019s mismanagement of\u2063 the country.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>In short, the \u200cleft thought \u2064their indictments would shatter Trump and his \u200dbase psychologically. In fact, they did the\u2064 precise opposite.\u200b Instead of delegitimizing \u200dTrump, the Democrats have instead discredited the very idea \u2063that being indicted\u2062 is disqualifying for the \u200cpresidency. By bringing such coordinated, obviously political prosecutions,\u2062 they have only sent the message that Donald \u2063Trump is \u2064the one candidate the D.C. regime authentically\u2064 fears.<\/p>\n<h2>2. \u200dThe Hunter Biden Inside Job Got Blown Up<\/h2>\n<ol>\n<li>The press successfully scuttled the Hunter\u2064 Biden\u200b laptop story in 2020, but the laptop\u200d still exists, and inevitably the full scope \u200cof its contents has \u200ctrickled out. No \u200bbig deal, Democrats thought: Just \u200bcut a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/judge-sets-trial-date-in-trumps-classified-documents-case\/\" title=\"Trial date set for Trump's classified documents case by judge.\">quick plea deal<\/a> with Hunter about the least consequential of his misdeeds, bury a sneaky clause immunizing him\u2064 from any \u200cfurther federal\u2062 prosecutions, and bury the story forever.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Instead,\u2062 on \u2063the brink of pulling it off, they got caught. Multiple IRS whistleblowers came forward to \u2062testify about the pressure they\u2019d seen from \u200cthe top to \u2062protect\u200d the First Son. An alert federal judge spotted the unprecedented, sweeping\u200c nature of Hunter\u2019s plea deal \u2062and called it \u200bout, forcing\u2064 the whole thing to be scrapped. Now Hunter is being hit with new charges, \u200cand healing this nagging sore on Joe Biden\u2019s political fortunes \u200bhas become that much harder.<\/p>\n<h2>3. There Was No\u200c Competitive GOP Primary<\/h2>\n<ol>\n<li>The post-2022 backlash \u200bagainst Trump \u200dwas supposed \u200cto be a harbinger of a bruising Republican primary like the one\u2062 we saw in 2012. Democrats figured that by today,\u2062 Trump would be in a \u2063dead heat with Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis.\u2063 They expected a tough fight that would \u2063leave Republicans bitterly divided and ill-prepared for a general election.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>It never happened, in no small part thanks to the Democrats themselves. Instead of powering up DeSantis, every fresh Trump indictment has \u2064caused a surge\u2063 in Republican support. The DeSantis\u200b campaign, \u2063meanwhile, has self-sabotaged with \u2063a series of miscalculations and \u2062mistakes. Instead of reaching a crescendo this fall, the\u2063 Republican primary race is already effectively over \u200c\u2014 and a\u2062 speedy victory for Trump means \u200cany remaining bad blood will be long gone by the \u2062time of next year\u2019s GOP \u200bconvention.<\/p>\n<h2>4.\u200b Cornel West<\/h2>\n<ol>\n<li>A core assumption of\u2064 the Democrat machine\u200d apparatus is that Trump terrifies their base \u2063so\u200d much that \u2064nobody will dare defect to another\u200c candidate, no matter how disappointing the incumbent is.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Not so fast, it turns out. The left still has a lot \u2063of people who \u2062care about achieving\u200b actual\u2064 leftism, not just\u2062 letting a Beltway cabal\u200c cash\u2064 in \u200dwhile claiming to protect the \u200bworld from\u200d Trump. And this faction of the left now has a\u200c standard-bearer, Cornel West, whom millions of left-wing radicals have actually\u200c heard of and respect.<\/p>\n<h2>5. No Labels<\/h2>\n<ol>\n<li>It isn\u2019t just to the left that Biden\u2019s base of support \u2064is crumbling. Despite\u200c being \u200bnicknamed the \u201cuniparty,\u201d the D.C. establishment can\u2019t stick together either. Every day, the chatter in D.C. grows louder that\u2064 the group No Labels, backed by tens \u2062of millions \u2064in big donor dollars, will support a centrist \u200cthird-party nominee \u200cfor the presidency. And right now, the overwhelming favorite to \u200cbe that\u200c nominee is Joe Manchin of West Virginia.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>The motivations for this challenge are the polar opposite \u200bof those driving \u200bCornel West. \u2062West is an ideologue who knows\u200c he can\u2019t win \u2062but wants to make a statement of protest. No Labels, on the other hand, is driven by Beltway delusions of grandeur. It believes that by running a lawmaker disliked by both parties, \u200bit will <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/5-wrong-predictions-ruining-democrats-plan-for-2024\/\" title=\"5 Failed Predictions Undermining Democrats' 2024 Strategy\">capture mystical bipartisan energy<\/a> and ride that to the White House. But in\u200c reality, D.C.\u2019s vision of \u201ccentrism,\u201d defined by horse-trading, cynicism, \u200bcashing in, and never rocking\u200c the boat, is hated \u2062everywhere \u200bbut Washington itself.<\/p>\n<p>Nevertheless, to the extent this ideology appeals to anyone, it appeals to \u200da \u200cnarrow slice of the electorate that thought everything \u200cwas perfect\u200b in Washington until Trump came\u200c along \u2014 \u2064in other words, \u2063people who\u200b voted for \u2064Biden \u200din 2020.<\/p>\n<p>So if Biden can\u2019t win the D.C. uniparty \u200danymore, \u2064can\u2019t win the far left, \u2064can\u2019t\u2064 hide his \u200cpersonal corruption, and can\u2019t hide \u200bfrom Donald Trump, how is he supposed \u200bto win another election? \u200bMore and more \u200dDemocrats are realizing with\u200d horror what the answer \u2064to that question is.<\/p>\n<hr>\n<\/div>\n<p> <\/p>\n<h2> Should Biden and Harris step aside in the\u2064 2024 election, considering the failures and lackluster leadership of their administration<\/h2>\n<p><span>  Ng Biden&#8217;s performance may be. But \u200dthe emergence of Cornel West as a potential third-party candidate has\u200d thrown a wrench \u2063into their calculations. West,\u2064 a renowned intellectual\u200b and activist, has been critical of both the Democratic and Republican parties,\u2063 and his candidacy could attract disenchanted Democrats who are fed\u2064 up with Biden&#8217;s lackluster leadership. While it remains to be seen how much of an impact \u200cWest will have, his presence\u2064 alone undermines the Democrats&#8217; assumption of unwavering loyalty from their base.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h2>5. The Resurgence \u2062of \u200cTrump<\/h2>\n<ol>\n<li>Perhaps the biggest blow \u2062to the Democrats&#8217; plans for 2024 is the \u2063fact that \u2064Donald Trump is back, and he is more popular than ever among his fervent supporters. Despite being out of office, Trump has managed to maintain \u200ba\u2064 tight grip on the Republican base and continues to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/why-is-putin-constantly-calling-ukrainians-nazis\/\" title=\"Why Is Putin Constantly Calling Ukrainians \u2018Nazis\u2019?\">exert significant influence<\/a> over the party. His rallies draw\u200c massive crowds, his endorsement holds weight, and his\u200d potential candidacy in 2024 looms large over the political landscape. The Democrats&#8217; strategy of demonizing Trump and moving on from his presidency has been thwarted by his enduring presence and influence.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>The failure of these core assumptions has left the Democratic establishment in a state of panic. They had hoped \u200dto coast through the 2024 election by diverting attention from their own failures and demonizing Trump once again. But \u2063now they find\u2063 themselves facing a daunting challenge \u2014\u200b a potential fourth term for Trump or a fractured\u200c party with internal divisions. Neither scenario bodes well for their ambitions.<\/p>\n<p>So, is it\u200b time for Biden and Harris to step aside? Ignatius makes \u2062a compelling case. If Biden and Harris were to run for reelection in 2024, they would risk further tarnishing their already lackluster legacies. The failures of their administration have\u200c become too apparent to ignore, and the\u2062 American people are growing weary of \u2062their\u2062 empty promises and ineffective\u200c leadership.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2064 is time for fresh faces, new ideas, and a genuine commitment to addressing the real issues facing our country. Whether that comes \u200dfrom within the Democratic \u200dParty or through alternative channels remains \u200dto be seen. \u200dBut\u200c one thing is clear \u2014 the \u2063status quo is no longer acceptable, and a change in leadership \u2064is desperately\u200b needed.<\/p>\n<p>As the 2024 election approaches, the Democratic establishment must take a hard look at \u2062their current\u2064 trajectory and consider the consequences of continuing down\u200b this path. The American people \u2063deserve better than what Biden and Harris have to offer. It&#8217;s\u2062 time for them\u2064 to step aside and make way for leaders who can truly make a positive \u200dimpact\u200d on our nation.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On Tuesday, David Ignatius of The Washington Post suggested ending Joe Biden and Kamala Harris&#8217; political careers.
