Silver expressed his \u2064growing concerns about the Democrats&#8217; lack of\u200d plans to address these issues.<\/p>\n<p>Silver&#8217;s outlook on a potential rematch between 81-year-old Biden and former President Donald Trump, 77, has significantly changed over the past year. He specifically \u2063pointed out Biden&#8217;s \u2063age and\u2062 his refusal to participate\u200d in significant \u200binterviews, such as the traditional Super Bowl interview, as \u200cmajor \u2064concerns for his \u200ccampaign.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;If you&#8217;d asked me a year ago, I would have confidently\u200b said that Joe\u200d Biden was the clear favorite in a rematch against Donald Trump,&#8221; Silver stated. &#8220;However,\u2063 in recent months, Biden&#8217;s situation has\u200c worsened considerably.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Silver emphasized\u200c the impact of Biden&#8217;s age on \u200chis campaign, stating,\u200d &#8220;If he were \u206210 years younger,\u2063 he \u2064might still have a 65\/35 chance of winning. But if \u200bhis age significantly hampers\u2064 his campaign, he&#8217;s likely the \u200dunderdog.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>This \u200dlatest piece from Silver follows his previous newsletter in November, where he suggested that Democrats should\u200c consider backing a different candidate if Biden couldn&#8217;t\u2064 run a normal campaign.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Personally, I reached \u2064a turning point in \u200bNovember, concluding that Biden should step aside if he couldn&#8217;t run a normal \u2062reelection campaign, which includes activities like\u200b conducting \u200ca\u2063 Super Bowl interview,&#8221; Silver \u2062wrote. &#8220;Yes, it&#8217;s a risky move, and\u200b yes, Biden still has a\u200c chance to win. \u200cHowever, he&#8217;s currently losing, and there doesn&#8217;t seem to be\u200b a plan to address these issues other than hoping the polls are wrong or that voters will\u200d view \u2064the race differently \u2064with more \u200ctime to focus on it.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>According to national\u2064 polling averages from RealClearPolitics and FiveThirtyEight, Trump continues to lead \u200cBiden, \u2062who also <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/shudder-kamala-plays-president-during-biden-root-canal\/\" title=\"Kamala takes over as Biden undergoes root canal.\">faces low favorability ratings<\/a>. Silver highlighted special counsel Robert Hur&#8217;s \u200dreport on Biden&#8217;s handling \u2063of classified documents, which described the president as a\u200c &#8220;well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;At this point, \u2062Biden is likely a below-replacement-level candidate because Americans have valid concerns\u200b about \u2064the prospect of \u2062an\u2062 86-year-old Commander-in-Chief by\u2064 the \u200cend of his second term,&#8221; Silver argued. &#8220;It&#8217;s entirely reasonable to see this as disqualifying.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><b><a href=\"https:\/\/onelink.to\/dwapp\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" aria-describedby=\"sk-tooltip-9096\" data-saferedirecturl=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?q=https:\/\/onelink.to\/dwapp&#038;source=gmail&#038;ust=1700760801843000&#038;usg=AOvVaw2PQrVSrJfhxNb4LcARqniG\">CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP<\/a><\/b><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Biden\u200b needs to\u200b reassure the American public that he&#8217;s capable of handling public appearances that aren&#8217;t on easy mode.

According to recent polls,\u2062 Biden&#8217;s approval ratings have \u2064been declining, with his handling of various issues such as the\u200c economy, inflation, and the southern border being <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/iran-says-theyre-closer-than-weve-been-before-at-securing-new-nuclear-deal\/\" title=\"Iran Says They're \"Closer Than We've Been Before\" at Securing New Nuclear Deal\">major sticking points<\/a> for many Americans.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Approval ratings\u200c are crucial in determining a candidate&#8217;s electability,&#8221; \u2064Silver explained. &#8220;They reflect how \u2063well a president is governing and how the public perceives his\u200c actions and decisions. If Biden continues to\u200b see a decline\u2064 in his approval ratings, his re-election \u200dprospects could be significantly \u200djeopardized.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>In addition to\u200c these concerns, Silver also pointed out the\u200d impact of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/cnn-analyst-runs-through-three-new-polls-warns-viewers-trump-has-a-real-shot-at-beating-biden-in-2024\/\" title=\"CNN analyst highlights three recent polls indicating that Trump has a genuine chance of defeating Biden in 2024.\">current political\u2062 landscape<\/a>\u200d on Biden&#8217;s re-election campaign.
