Former Obama adviser David Axelrod expressed concern about President Biden's recent interview on ABC News, describing it as "sad" and suggesting that the president is "dangerously out of touch" with voter concerns. Axelrod's remarks followed Biden's sit-down with George Stephanopoulos, which aired Friday evening.
Axelrod commented on a social platform X, stating, "The president is rightfully proud of his record. But he is dangerously out-of-touch with the concerns people have about his capacities moving forward and his standing in this race." He noted that while Biden led former President Trump by 10 points years ago at a similar time, he now trails by six points.
This criticism comes after Biden's widely criticized debate performance against Trump last week. During the interview, Biden referred to the debate as "a bad night."
Axelrod’s statements were met with reactions on social media. One user suggested that when a staunch Democrat like Axelrod criticizes Biden, it could signal trouble for the campaign. Another praised Axelrod for redirecting criticism towards advisors shielding Biden from reality.
Biden's age and health remain contentious issues among voters and party strategists as they consider their options for future elections.
