Joe Biden looks increasingly likely to lose at least the first two primaries to RFK Jr in 2024, despite it being a certainty the President will be the Democratic nominee.
According to Axios, the scenario would be “if they’re in the traditional first-to-vote states of Iowa and New Hampshire.”
The Conservative Brief notes that the Biden campaign announced that they wouldn’t put his name on the ballot in either of those states if they have their primaries before South Carolina.
Axios reported further:
“Democrats in Iowa and New Hampshire could defy Biden and move ahead with their contests — even as the party warns it will strip them of their national convention delegates if they jump the gun.”
“That sets up a scenario in which Robert F. Kennedy Jr. or another long-shot Democrat could win those states — and embarrass the president.”
After Biden’s announcement in December designating South Carolina as the initial state for Democrats for the 2024 season with a primary, New Hampshire Democrats responded by slamming the White House and the Democratic National Committee, arguing their state law mandates it to hold the nation’s first primary.
Several within the party have also expressed their determination to do so.
“Iowa Democrats haven’t been as publicly hostile over Biden’s move. But in the past two months, they’ve quietly moved to hold their contest the same day as Iowa Republicans — in January, but with a mail-in option for ballots,” the outlet reported.
“That could put Iowa first on the Democrats’ calendar — but New Hampshire lawmakers and party officials have signaled they may then attempt to move ahead of Iowa,” it added.
Prominent Iowa and New Hampshire Democrats expressed anger with the extensive determining of the primary calendar, highlighting the lengthy procedures, presentations, and travel as just “theatrics” with a predetermined outcome.
“I believe the DNC’s process was flawed and that top party officials had their own agenda from the start,” said Sen. Jean Shaheen, a Democrat, and New Hampshire’s senior senator.
A senior Iowa Democrat echoed Shaheen’s remarks, saying, “We are rule followers and want to be part of the process, but we did everything the DNC asked, and we got no consideration.”
Although polls indicate most Democratic voters do not want Biden to run, it now seems inevitable.
As The Daily Fetched reported earlier this week, Biden could be nothing more than a placeholder for President Kamala Harris.
“The DNC’s strategy to ensure the Democrat establishment remains in power is to re-elect Joe Biden, no matter how old or capable he is, and then get him to resign or step aside and install Kamala Harris as president,” Rep. Tulsi Gabbard said.
“She will be untested and unelected and ready to act as the Democrat Establishment’s puppet president. She will then have the advantage and power of incumbency to run in 2028,” she told Fox News.
“None of this is possible if Biden doesn’t run,” Gabbard
“Democrats may be happy with Kamala Harris taking over, but the rest of the electorate almost certainly is not,” Doug Schoen, a Democratic pollster who is also a founder and partner of Schoen Cooperman Research, said.
“Harris has lower approval ratings than Biden, and remains very much an open question to the electorate whether she is ready and indeed able to govern.”
