Guardian<\/a>:<\/p>\n

Left-wing congresswoman\u00a0Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez\u00a0on Sunday refused to endorse Joe Biden for another run at the White House, adding to growing anxiety in Democratic circles over the president\u2019s ability to run in and win the 2024 election.<\/p>\n

The powerful progressive New Yorker said she could not commit to supporting Biden during an appearance on CNN\u2019s State of the Union, saying she was more focused on trying to preserve Democrats\u2019 congressional majority in November\u2019s midterms.<\/p>\n

\u201c[Biden] should announce his intent not to seek re-election right after the midterms,\u201d Steve Simeonidis, a Miami-based member of the Democratic national committee (DNC) told the Times.<\/p>\n

\u201cTo say our country was on the right track would flagrantly depart from reality.\u201d<\/p>\n

Many of the Democrats interviewed by the newspaper, including elected officials, indicated the situation was not helped by a lack of clarity over a natural successor.<\/p>\n

At a Detroit rally during his 2020 campaign, Biden said he viewed himself \u201cas a bridge\u201d to a younger generation of Democratic leaders, an indication that his objective was to run to get Donald Trump out of office, then prepare to hand over the baton.<\/p>\n

But vice-president Kamala Harris, once seen as Biden\u2019s heir apparent, has struggled to make a mark, despite attempting to seize the lead on Democrats\u2019 opposition to the supreme court\u2019s expected imminent ruling ending almost half a century of abortion rights.<\/p>\n

Biden has indicated he intends to run again,\u00a0telling his old boss Obama in April<\/a>\u00a0that he was preparing for 2024 with Harris on the ticket. Sources said he sees himself as the only candidate capable of keeping Trump out of the White House if the former president launches another campaign.<\/p>\n

Jasmine Crockett, a Democratic Texas state representative, told the New York Times that many of her party\u2019s problems at a national level, and by extension Biden\u2019s problems too, come down to one thing: failing to stimulate voters by using their power.<\/p>\n

\u201cDemocrats are like, \u2018What the hell is going on?\u2019\u201d Crockett said.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur country is completely falling apart. And so I think we\u2019re lacking in the excitement.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
