And election debate last night between the three Democratic candidates vying to represent New York’s 12th District at the National Capitol agreed on the need to change controversial state bail laws set in 2020. But it offered an interesting twist when asked if Joe Biden should seek a second presidential term in 2024.

the veteran representante Carolyn Maloney, who has held that seat since 2013, predicted that this will not happen. “I don’t think (Biden) will run for re-election,” commented when discussing NY1 News with fellow Congressman Jerry Nadler and attorney Suraj Patel.

“Maloney’s candor could serve as a warning to fellow Democrats who are turning away from Biden heading into the November midterm elections,” he said. New York Post.

Nadler, answering the same question, “Should President Biden run again in 2024?” he was less direct but also did not commit to supporting his party’s de facto leader. “It’s too soon to say that”, express. “It doesn’t serve the purposes of the Democratic Party to deal with it until after the midterm elections.”

Patel was the only one who answered: “Yes”, in support of President Biden, who has faced accidental falls and health problems -including two recent infections of Covid-19-, while accumulating negative numbers in the polls

And recent Gallup poll concluded that 60% of Americans disapprove of their job performance less than two years after holding the position, the lowest rating of any modern president, including former presidents Jimmy Carter and Donald Trump, the last ones who lost the elections when seeking re-election in 1980 and 2022.

Also, Biden has been the oldest president to reach the White House. Americans also blame the president for policies that have led to a dismal economy plagued by inflation, rising gasoline and housing prices.

The high cost of gasoline has been impacting historical inflation in the US for months. and experts warn that it would be causing a global recession.

Biden was also criticized even by his own party for recently visiting Saudi Arabia, an oil kingdom questioned in terms of human rights.including in 2018 the Jamal Khashoggi assassinationcollaborator of The Washington Post.
