Jesse Watters, host of "Jesse Watters Primetime," discusses the growing tension among Democrats as they grapple with President Biden's political future and calls for him to step aside.
Fox News host Jesse Watters has shed light on the growing rift within the Democratic Party, as members grapple with President Biden's determination to remain in the 2024 presidential race despite mounting pressure from fellow party leaders.
"The Biden hostage crisis is turning into a high-wire act," Watters stated on "Jesse Watters Primetime." "Democrats are telling themselves if he falls, it's likely fatal. If he doesn't, he simply wobbled to the other side to survive one more day."
Watters: Democrats in Political Purgatory with Biden
Watters' comments follow Biden's recent press conference, which critics have characterized as a disjointed and rambling performance. The host highlighted Biden's missteps, such as misidentifying Russian President Vladimir Putin as President Zelenskyy and Vice President Kamala Harris as President Trump.
Amid these concerns, a growing chorus of prominent liberal outlets have urged Biden to bow out of his re-election campaign. Following Biden's presidential debate last week, several major publications, including The New York Times and The Washington Post, have published editorials advocating for his withdrawal.
Watters: Democrats in Political Purgatory with Biden
"Democrats are texting each other tonight, calling it the worst of all worlds. They're in purgatory. Biden did just enough to live another day, and now no one's changing his mind. Plus, it's too late," Watters said.
According to Watters, even some of Biden's closest allies are whispering that his chances of winning the presidency are slim to none. Campaign insiders have also expressed concerns, suggesting that dropping out of the race would be the wisest course of action.
"Biden could have done push-ups on stage, and it wouldn't matter, is what one Democrat said," Watters reported.
The negative sentiment surrounding Biden's presidency is reflected in recent polling data. According to a recent survey, his approval rating has plummeted to 32%. Despite these challenges, Democrats have been reluctant to voice their concerns publicly, fearing retaliation from the White House.
"If you're a Democrat who says Biden can't win, the White House beats the crap out of you," Watters noted.
The political purgatory that Democrats find themselves in is a result of their unwillingness to confront the reality of Biden's declining popularity and the potential consequences of his continued candidacy. As the 2024 presidential race approaches, it remains to be seen whether Biden will heed the calls of his fellow party members or defy the odds and emerge victorious in the upcoming election.
