The 2024 presidential race is shaping up to be as exciting as watching paint dry, especially for those tuned in to the Democrats’ dubious strategy playbook. As the weeks evaporate, the two major candidates are traipsing through key swing states like they’re hunting for that last slice of pizza at a party, and let’s just say the Democrats seem to have booted their main attraction off the stage.
Evidence of this strategic retreat emerged during Jill Biden’s recent soiree in Macon, Georgia, where it appears her husband, President Joe Biden, has been deemed more of a liability than a leader. Rumor has it that Kamala Harris and her team decided that having the president share the spotlight would be akin to inviting a skunk to a garden party, particularly after his eyebrow-raising comments about Trump supporters. Talk about a political hot potato.
Its quite unbearable to watch. 🥹
Jill Biden is responsible for her husband’s well being and should be doing what’s best for him.
Its really a terrible shame. https://t.co/GNsmWms6Ge— Awakened Heart and Mind (@ahmworld) November 3, 2024
Jill is pitching her tent in Georgia trying to win over female voters, presumably with a strategy more focused on abortion rights than on bridging that seemingly insurmountable gap with men. In her speech, she shared heartfelt sentiments about faith and governance, emphasizing that no beliefs should impede women’s rights. Nothing like a First Lady pathologizing the whole notion of personal responsibility to stir the pot.
As she cranked up the urgency knob—saying they need to “work harder than we ever have before”—the situation became crystal clear. The Democrats are feeling the heat as if the entire election season is one long, uncomfortable hot yoga class, and their party’s commander-in-chief is nowhere in sight. Biden’s outings with Harris have dwindled faster than enthusiasm for a lukewarm sitcom, with the last joint appearance being on Labor Day. Perhaps he’s off focusing on things that truly matter—like making sure his teleprompter’s batteries are charged.
Behind the curtain, the Harris team is clearly hoping Biden sticks to the sidelines like a shy kid at a school dance. After Biden’s unfortunate slip-ups—like casually suggesting locking up the former president and labeling his supporters as “garbage”—it seems Harris’ advisers are softly muttering about him being more of a hindrance than a help. Democratic strategist Jim Demers insists that this election must spotlight Harris and her grand vision for America. It’s almost like they’re trying to sell her as a breath of fresh air, while their party’s elder statesman turns into a lingering odor.
Over in the peanut gallery, former Obama speechwriter Jon Favreau didn’t mince words either, practically begging Biden to avoid the campaign trail altogether. Given Biden’s dwindling popularity and skillful use of verbal missteps, it’s easy to see why Harris finds herself hoping ‘the big guy’ remains under the radar until the chaos of voting concludes. Ultimately, whether the Democrats can pull together a coherent strategy without stepping all over their own shoelaces remains to be seen—but the clock is ticking, and the election fever is rising.
