They just can’t ignore it anymore…
During Wednesday’s Morning Joe, host Joe Scarborough admitted that many Democrats will confess off the air that President Joe Biden is too old to run for re-election in 2024.
“Mika and I, everybody, we talk to, every political discussion, all it talks a lot about Trump, but when it comes to Joe Biden, people say, ‘Man, he’s too old to run. He’s, and I mean, he’s not going to; he’s not really going to run…’”
“When I say every discussion, I don’t mean 99% of the discussion. Every discussion,” he said. “I asked Reverend Al if he was hearing it all the time on our show this past week. He’s hearing it as well.”
“So, you know, we often will complain about Republicans who will say one thing about Donald Trump off the air and another on air,” he continued. “Well, let me just say, Democrats, off the air, will say ‘Joe Biden’s too old. Why is he running.’ On the air? They won’t say that.”
“So, I commend David for at least raising the question,” Scarborough concluded. I mean, my question, of course, Willie, is who could do a better job as president? Is Joe Biden and who can beat Donald Trump? I don’t see a lot of Democrats out there. I don’t see any Democrats out there right now that could do that.”

The Morning Joe panel was interviewing special guest WaPo columnist David Ignatius who wrote in a recent op-ed that he believes Biden shouldn’t run for re-election.
