Biden risks being an immediate 'lame duck' president if he doesn't reassure Dems on 2024 bid: Perino
Fox News
President Biden reportedly reassured political allies this week that he will indeed run for reelection in 2024, despite falling poll numbers, record inflation, an unfettered illegal immigration crisis and the prospect of another multi-trillion-dollar spending plan being passed.
Co-host Jeanine Pirro said Biden's reported reassurance comes amid "open panic" among Democrats that his even-less-popular deputy, Vice President Kamala Harris, would become the party's standard bearer if Biden decided not to run.
In response, co-host Dana Perino said Harris and Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg already appear to be in a subtle competition for that title, should Biden ultimately retire in three years.
"Let’s look at this question another way, which is why would they reassure people he’s going to run again," she said. "Because if they did not say that, he is a lame duck immediately. And we are three years from a primary."
