Left-leaning network NBC was forced to admit President Joe Biden’s abysmal approval ratings just days before his potential 2024 reelection announcement.
“53% of 2020 Biden voters say he shouldn’t run. 64% of Democrats who voted for Sanders are warned in the 2020 primaries think he shouldn’t run. And 76% of voters under 35 think he shouldn’t run,” host Chuck Todd said.
“And what’s the top concern for that? We asked voters, we didn’t prompt them, we said, why don’t you think he should run? Well, these were the responses. It almost is all about his age and his ability to do the job. Again, these are among Democratic primary voters,” he added.

This comes after it was revealed that six more members of the president’s family may have benefited from the family’s shady business dealings, bringing the total number of relatives implicated up to nine.
Bank records obtained from the House Oversight and Accountability Committee’s subpoena show that State Energy HK Limited, a company connected to CEFC China Energy, wired $3 million to Rob Walker, a member of the Biden family, in March 2017. Walker then distributed the money over the course of about three months.
“Thousands of pages of financial records related to the Biden family, their companies, and associates’ business schemes were made available to members of the House Committee on Oversight and Accountability, which confirm the importance of this investigation,” Chairman James Comer said in a statement. “We’ve identified six additional members of Joe Biden’s family who may have benefited from the Biden family’s businesses that we are investigating, bringing the total number of those involved or benefiting to nine.”
Meanwhile, Biden is rumored to launch his reelection campaign soon, following months of speculation. According to multiple sources familiar with the situation, the president is planning to announce his intentions to run for a second term in the White House in the coming weeks.
Officials, however, continue to question Biden’s physical and mental wellbeing, especially after he admitted in an interview recently that his age is “a legitimate thing to be concerned about.”
“But the best way to make a judgment is to, you know, watch me. You know, am I slowing up? Do I not have the same pace?” the president said in an October interview.
Biden became the oldest individual ever elected to serve in the White House, and he could break the record should he decide to seek re-election in 2024.
