President Joe Biden may have touched aside problems over his capability, but an ex-Obama advisor believes the 81-year-old could be handled for a disastrous drubbing this November.
“The one person that no one can outrun is Father Time,” David Axelrod narrated CNN’s Pamela Brown on Sunday. “There are certain immutable facts of life, and those were painfully obvious on that debate stage, and the president just hasn’t come to grips with it.”
“He’s not winning this race. If you just look at the data and talk to political people around the country, it’s more likely that he’ll lose by a landslide than win narrowly this race,” Axelrod, who is also a senior political commentator for CNN, counted.
Axelrod’s diminishing review arrives after a week of unrest for Biden. The hypothetical Democratic candidate has met raising buzzes for him to stroll down following a catastrophic presidential disagreement with former President Donald Trump on June 27.
In a discussion with ABC News’ George Stephanopoulos that circulated Friday, Biden disregarded his poor implementation as a “bad night.”
“It was a bad episode. No indication of any serious condition. I was exhausted. I didn’t listen to my instincts in terms of preparing,” Biden claimed.
But that justification didn’t look to persuade Axelrod, who was a critical analyst behind ex-President Barack Obama’s success in the 2008 and 2012 elections.
On Friday, Axelrod claimed in a Twitter post that Biden is “dangerously out-of-touch with the concerns people have about his capacities moving forward.”

“If the stakes are as large as he says, and I believe they are, then he really needs to consider what the right thing to do here is,” Axelrod told CNN on Sunday.
To make certain, this isn’t the first span Axelrod has blamed Biden as a contender. In a Twitter post published in November, Axelrod claimed that the “Decision on whether to run or not was Biden’s to make.”
“If he continues to run, he will be the nominee of the Democratic Party. What he needs to decide is whether that is wise; whether it’s in HIS best interest or the country’s?” Axelrod expressed in writing.
Axelrod later explained those remarks in a discussion with Politico, which was posted a week later.
“It’s overreacting to say I told him to drop out,” Axelrod claimed. “I didn’t do that.”
Ambassadors for Biden didn’t instantly react to a recommendation for a statement from BI sent outside regular business hours.
