Prominent Democratic donors and political commentators are openly expressing doubt about President Biden's fitness to run for re-election, citing his age and perceived mental decline.
Amidst growing pressure from within the Democratic Party, President Biden faces mounting skepticism about his ability to lead the country for another term. High-profile donors have publicly called for him to step aside, while influential political analysts raise concerns about his mental acuity and unwillingness to address the party's frustrations.
NBC News chief political analyst Chuck Todd has revealed that a senior cabinet secretary expressed doubts about Biden's ability to run again as early as two years ago. Todd described this as a "classic open secret" in Washington, but one that has been largely unspoken until now.

Martin, a Politico columnist, criticized Democratic politicians for refusing to acknowledge the concerns they have been privately voicing. He pointed out that the party's reluctance to address the issue openly reveals a lack of courage and conviction.
Todd further criticized Biden's insistence on staying in the race, arguing that it could tarnish his legacy. He expressed disbelief that the president would put his family through such an ordeal and questioned whether he had the capacity to serve a full four-year term.

Multiple Democratic lawmakers have echoed these sentiments. House Representatives Angie Craig, Lloyd Doggett, Raul Grijalva, Seth Moulton, Mike Quigley, Mikie Sherrill, and Adam Smith have all called for Biden to withdraw from the race. Senator Michael Bennet became the first Senate Democrat to publicly express doubt about Biden's re-election chances.
These developments indicate a growing rift within the Democratic Party, as some members express frustration with Biden's performance. Todd attributed their anger not to a lack of support for the president but to their fear of former President Donald Trump and their dissatisfaction with Biden's lack of self-reflection and unwillingness to address their concerns.

The Biden administration has been criticized for failing to understand why some Democrats are frustrated. Todd argued that the president needs to acknowledge their fears and address their concerns rather than attacking them.
Since Biden's first presidential debate against Trump in June 2020, a number of Democratic lawmakers have publicly questioned his ability to lead the country. These calls have intensified in recent months as the president's approval ratings have plummeted.

The growing skepticism within the Democratic Party raises serious questions about Biden's chances of re-election in November. If he chooses to run, he will likely face a challenge from within his own party, further complicating his path to a second term.
