It was the meme of the week: Joe's gotta go. It felt like every liberal news outlet took part in a week of scathing critique of President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris, with many even from the President's own party suggesting he commit to not running in 2024. It's not just wishful thinking. If the Democrats successfully push President Biden to retire, they will be doing something that Republicans refused to do after two impeachments, a horrendous pandemic response, and a detailed attempt to undermine American democracy: They will be tacitly admitting they picked the wrong person to run the country. It's hard to see how they recover from that politically for generations to come.
This is not to say that Joe Biden's presidency has been entirely successful. Many feel he has been unable to secure important legislative victories or fulfill campaign promises, despite having a majority in both the House of Representatives and the Senate. President Biden also failed to secure voting rights or police reform, both big issues for African Americans, who also happen to be the Democrats most loyal and important voting block.............
