This was awkward.
Far-left ‘squad’ member Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (NY) on Sunday refused to endorse Joe Biden for 2024.
Democrat lawmakers and Democrat strategists don’t want Joe Biden running for president in 2024.
Former Obama advisor David Axelrod said Joe Biden, who will turn 80 this November, is just too old to run for president again.
“The presidency is a monstrously taxing job, and the stark reality is the president would be closer to 90 than 80 at the end of a second term, and that would be a major issue,” David Axelrod said.
Democrat lawmakers running for reelection don’t want to be associated with Joe Biden because of his cratering poll numbers.
Biden’s poll numbers continue to collapse.
AOC awkwardly laughed when CNN’s Dana Bash asked her to endorse Biden for 2024.
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez REFUSES to say she'll back Joe in 2024 after report suggests Democrats believe it 'can't be Biden' and the president 'should announce his intent not to seek re-election'
The New York Democrat was pressed on CNN's State of the Union multiple times on whether she would support President Joe Biden in 2024
Ocasio-Cortez said she would 'take a look at' Biden's pitch when he made it
The 79-year-old president 'is seeking a second term,' his friend and ally, Democrat Senator Chris Coons, said on Fox News Sunday
But a Saturday report in the New York Times suggests a growing number of Democrats are already disillusioned with a prospective Biden 2024 bid
Obama's former campaign strategist David Axelrod said Biden 'doesn't get the credit he deserves' because he 'looks his age,' among other reasons
'This has fed a narrative about competence that isn’t rooted in reality,' he said
The president has been suffering from low poll numbers since just over halfway through his first year in office

Progressive Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez refused to say whether she will support President Joe Biden's 2024 re-election bid during a Sunday television interview.
The New York Democrat was grilled on the issue by CNN State of the Union host Dana Bash but would not give a straight answer, instead insisting she was fixated on November's midterm elections.
The 79-year-old president 'is seeking a second term,' his friend and ally Senator Chris Coons said on Fox News Sunday.
But it appears that he's already losing support from a growing faction of the Democratic Party, particularly young people and progressives, who believe he is too old and out of touch to lead today's America.
Ocasio-Cortez, a leader in the progressive movement, answered with an uncomfortable laugh when asked point-blank if she'll get behind Biden.
'You know, 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,' Ocasio-Cortez said.
'So we'll cross that bridge when we get to it, but I think if if the president has a vision - that's something certainly we're all willing to entertain and examine when that when the time comes.'
