Is it just our imagination or are some Lefties and Democrats trying to throw Biden under the bus because he's too old? Oh, they won't really say that, they'll blame the media or the Right for pushing Biden's age as an issue (because it is), but this thread from Jon Favreau doesn't sound like he's exactly confident in Biden for the 2024 election.
Take a gander.
Even if you don't agree with where he lands, it's worth reading @ezraklein's Biden piece, especially since a LOT of Democrats share his exact concern: yes, Biden's a good man, has been a great president, and isn't too old for the job. But because he looks and sounds so much older…

So he's talking about a piece from Ezra Klein where he basically says Democrats need to pick someone else.
The challenge is, we just don't know - and will likely never know - if nominating Biden is riskier than letting Democratic activists and insiders pick a lesser-known and potentially weaker general election candidate at the convention with three months to go.

Or you know, you could let the people decide who they want to run.
Crazy, we know.
Democrats have some real stars who've won races in the toughest states - Whitmer in MI, Shapiro in PA, Warnock in GA - but it's not at all clear that they'd a) be the choice of the delegates, or b) end up stronger than Biden against Trump

Whitmer. Gag.
Warnock. Gaggier.
Even if some of these margins are probably a function of low name-ID, the limited polling we have is instructive, and Trump hits 45/46 in every matchup (basically his # in '16 and '20): https://t.co/psf69o7c33

Remember when the polls had Hillary beating him by like 90%?
Good times.
So even if you think Biden's decision to stay in the race is driven by ego or short-sightedness, a last-minute (and highly unlikely) decision to step aside would also represent a huge risk to democracy - which also has to be weighing on his mind. Would it be as risky as the…

Mind? What mind?
What Biden can do is take concerns about his age seriously, acknowledge that fears about his performance aren't media creations or Democratic bedwetting, and focus single-mindedly on crisp, strong, energetic appearances, which we've seen he's absolutely capable of (2023 SOTU, Jan…

Seems Lefties are not thrilled with Favreau OR his thread:
I want to apologize to all my fellow dems for listening to this podcast, and actually going to one of their shows. Please forgive me, I was naïve https://t.co/q4KiPyAZgZ

Pod Bros Doofus.
That works.
We have an election in November. There is no one else. We all know what this is. Kamala is the reason y'all want someone else. https://t.co/2f2IzgOd7s

Hrm.
The Pod Save My Trust Fund bros have always hated Joe Biden probably because he don’t grow up wealthy going to the most expensive private high schools and colleges in America like ‘the POD’ bros did 🤷♀️ https://t.co/jCLnnzH0Eu

Watching them try and spin all of this will be highly entertaining.
