Summary
A brand new poll was just released showing 64% of Democrats do NOT want Joe Biden to run for President again. That's a DEVASTATING number and should immediately cause other Democrats to prepare and announce that they are actually going to run in 2024. Conservatives, from Trump, Desantis, and more already have those wheels in motion.
On today's episode of The Breakdown I will unpack and explain this poll and make sense of why these numbers are SO bad for Joe Biden now.

| 0:00.0 | A brand new New York Times poll shows that 64% of Democrats don't want Joe Biden to run for president in 2024. |
| 0:12.0 | Now, that's about what I thought it would be, but I have to admit I'm shocked that that's what it actually is. |
| 0:20.0 | That's a devastating number for Joe Biden. |
| 0:24.0 | That's not an approval rating. |
| 0:26.0 | That's 64% not of voters, not of independence and conservatives. |
| 0:32.0 | 64% of your own voting base is saying, please don't run again. |
| 0:38.0 | We want somebody else as president. |
| 0:41.0 | I want to unpack and explain what those numbers mean, why I think it's so important, |
| 0:46.0 | and what we can and should be doing about it. |
| 0:49.0 | This is Sean King and you are listening to The Breakdown. |
| 1:11.0 | As I'm recording this, it's Tuesday morning to July the 12th, and I just saw an article that is deeply relevant for the topic and the focus that we have here today. |
| 1:24.0 | You might have heard just a few weeks ago when Roe versus Wade was overturned. |
| 1:28.0 | Joe Biden on the day Roe versus Wade was overturned was scheduled to announce that he was nominating a deep conservative, |
| 1:39.0 | a lifelong conservative Republican who was a borderline white supremacist and who has fought against Roe versus Wade his entire life was about to nominate him to a lifetime judgeship in Kentucky. |

| 2:00.0 | When the Democratic governor Bashir, this is my home state. |
| 2:04.0 | When the Democratic governor found out he was floored because this man they were talking about nominating had been horrible to Democrats and so many other people all over the state of Kentucky had been horrible to the governor was like hold on. |
| 2:20.0 | This is unforgivable. |
| 2:23.0 | And when it leaked that Biden was about to appoint this man, they went silent and they've been silent for a couple of weeks, but it just leaked that even though they've been silent about it, they're still going to appoint this man. |
| 2:36.0 | For no reason, listen, I don't care what their rationale is to appoint this deep conservative judge to a lifetime appointment. |
| 2:48.0 | In the shadows of Roe versus Wade being overturned, this man who's fought against Roe versus Wade is like, why? |
| 2:56.0 | How and all of that is so very relevant to why 64% of Democrats say, no, I don't want Joe Biden to run again in 2024 for president. |
