David Axelrod Critiques Biden Aide's Comments

David Axelrod, a former adviser to President Obama, strongly criticized an unnamed Biden aide who suggested that President Biden would have won the 2024 election against Donald Trump had he not stepped aside. During a recent episode of his podcast, Axelrod labeled the aide's claim as 'bulls---' and called for accountability from those providing anonymous criticism, stating they should publicly own their remarks. He expressed frustration over a 'circle of denial' within Biden's inner circle that failed to offer honest feedback, suggesting that unnamed aides were enabling the president's poor campaign decisions. Co-host Mike Murphy echoed Axelrod's sentiments, highlighting that had Biden been the nominee, Republicans would likely have gained significantly in the House. Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi also weighed in, indicating that Biden's early endorsement of Kamala Harris complicated the primary process and could have hindered the emergence of stronger candidates. The ongoing fallout from Biden's withdrawal continues to fuel discussions among Democrats about their electoral strategies and leadership choices.
