Before we go I just wanna ask about President Biden.
He is saying he's gonna run again in 2024 will you support him?
>> If the president chooses to run again in 2024 I mean first of all I'm focused
on winning this majority right now and preserving a majority this year in 2022.
So we'll cross that bridge when we get to it.
But I think if the president has a vision and that's something certainly
we're all willing to entertain and examine when the time comes.
>> That's not a yes.
>> Yeah, I think we should endorse when we get to it.
But I believe that the president's been doing a very good job so
far and you know should he run again?
I think it's it's we'll take a look at it [LAUGH] Well right now.
We need to focus on winning a majority instead of a presidential election.
>> So I I've seen this video going around with a lot of right wingers being like
even AOC won't say she'll endorse Biden.
That's really bad news for him, which just telegraphs how little they understand
about the Democratic Party and progressives.
AOC is not a massive fan of joe Biden, you idiots.
If he's the candidate, I have no doubt that she will support him obviously but
she doesn't want him to run.
She doesn't want him to be the candidate, why does this need to be pointed out to so
many people and the issue is that look the progressives like AOC.
Are kind of obviously hoping that someone else runs maybe even AOC.
But other people are apparently mentioning their concerns too.
The New York Times has a report, a bunch of elected democrats being reluctant to
speak on the record about joe Biden's future.
And none saying that they have any ill will but
they're worried about it specifically his age.
He would be 82 by the time he won if he ran in 2024 which is pretty old.
People like David Axelrod pointing out that the presidency is a monstrously
taxing job and that would be very hard.
So I think for
some people it's gonna seem like this is too early to be talking about.
I think the exact opposite.
I think especially we progressives need to make this a huge focus.
We need to get everyone worried I think rightfully so
about what it would mean if Biden was the nominee again because we have to
normalize that primaries are not a bad thing.
You can have a contested primary for 2024 or
you can put pressure on Joe Biden to do the right thing for the party and for
the country and say in advance he's not going to be running again.
So that other potential candidates can start to rev up their campaign
infrastructure and architecture and all that.
Those are my thoughts.
What do you think?
>> Well sadly this isn't really about Joe Biden at all.
This is about the DNC.
And then holding power and maintaining power.
And this is why Biden's in office to begin with.
This is why Bernie didn't stand a chance when they all cut them at the ankles so
that Biden could be propped up as the primary candidate.
And that's what this is about.
This is about people like Nancy Pelosi holding onto power and
they are willing to put Biden in office again and push him along again.
So they can hold on to their power continue
making money the way they're doing it.
And the country suffers instead of putting a candidate like Bernie Sanders who now
also I believe is too old to run.
Not legally but I think it is a taxing job.
I know my dad is a powerhouse and after 80 it gets hard.
Your body betrays you, your mind is still sharp but you're tired, you're hurting.
I would love to see AOC win.
I think if she was a man she'd have a bigger chance with the American public
sadly we're still in that place with the patriarchy.
But I don't see any other candidates that are strong enough to go against the DNC.
>> Perhaps I mean we've certainly debated some possibilities.
I mean I think here that Nina turner is really strong but we're gonna have to see.
