Longtime Clinton Adviser Sounds The Alarm With ‘Biden Is Doing It All Wrong’ Essay
HuffPost
Mark Penn named the "key factor" of the 2024 election that he believes the president isn't dealing with.
A longtime adviser to former President Bill Clinton has spelled out what he believes could cost President Joe Biden victory in the 2024 election.
Mark Penn suggested in an essay for The New York Times — titled “Biden Is Doing It All Wrong” — that the president should stop pandering to his “political base on the left” and “chart a different course” if he wants to beat presumptive GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump in November.
“By pitching too much to the base, he is leaving behind the centrist swing voters who shift between parties from election to election and, I believe, will be the key factor deciding the 2024 race,” Penn said of Biden.
“If Mr. Biden wants to serve another four years, he has to stop being dragged to the left and chart a different course closer to the center that appeals to those voters who favor bipartisan compromises to our core issues, fiscal discipline and a strong America,” he argued.
Biden is currently polling slightly behind Trump.
