Never Trumper Bill Kristol called on President Joe Biden to step aside as the Democrat presidential nominee in 2024, saying he was “not up to four more years” and “very unlikely” to defeat former President Donald Trump.
He posted on X on Tuesday:
1. Trump should not be president again.
2. Joe Biden is not up to four more years, and is therefore very unlikely to defeat Trump.
3. Biden should step aside, and Democrats should nominate a candidate who can defeat Trump.If this is “elitist,” then common sense is elitist.

Kristol’s tweet comes as Biden, 81, has doubled down on running for another term in 2024 and as Democrats have slowly begun rallying around Biden after his disastrous debate performance against Trump, where he struggled to complete his thoughts and sparked panic within the Democrat Party.

After the debate, an Emerson College poll showed that support for Biden dropped, particularly among independent voters. Trump led Biden in support in that poll by three percentage points, with a margin of error of ± 2.6 percentage points.
