Asked the same question, Rep. Jerry Nadler, who is running against Maloney after the redistricting, said it’s “too early to tell” and that it “doesn’t serve the purpose of the Democratic Party” to address the issue until after the intermediate ones. Maloney’s other opponent, Suraj Patel, simply replied, “Yes.” Democrats have privately shared their concerns about Biden, who is 79 and struggling with low approval ratings, running for a second term in 2024. The president and his aides have pushed back against any notion that he won’t seek a second term. and most Democrats have publicly said they will support Biden if he runs for a second term. But a CNN poll last month found that 75 percent of Democratic and Democratic voters want the party to nominate someone other than Biden in the 2024 election, a sharp increase from earlier this year. Democratic Rep. Dean Phillips of Minnesota went further than Maloney in an interview last week, saying he does not want Biden to run for president in 2024. “I have respect for Joe Biden. I think he has — despite some faults and some mistakes, despite his age, I think he’s a man of dignity, good principle, compassion, empathy and strength. But to answer your question directly , which I know is pretty rare, uh, no, I don’t,” Phillips said in an interview on Chad Hartman’s WCCO-AM radio show. “I think the country would be well served by a new generation of exciting, well-prepared, dynamic Democrats going forward,” Phillips added.
