All of this is noise.

If the economy is strong at this time next year, and I think it will be, Biden will get to ride the wave and take credit because he’s the incumbent.

“Only @JoeBiden can make this decision,” Axelrod wrote on X, formerly known as Twitter. “If he continues to run, he will be the nominee of the Democratic Party. What he needs to decide is whether that is wise; whether it’s in HIS best interest or the country’s?”

I agree. Biden has really messed up with his response to Israel and there is no way to come back from it. That situation will only get worst. Ideally the republicans impeach, remove him from office and bar him from running/serving again. That would rally the democrats but remove Biden from the ticket.

Trump would probably have been equally as supportive but certainly not pro-Palestine. How does Biden’s response here on this one specific issue make him not electable as it relates to Trump?

There is very little chance of the economy being strong enough next year to change the negative perception of the economy that many likely voters currently have. Economic data to this point hasn't reflected the financial strain on consumers from the abrupt and significant change in Fed rate policy but the data will sooner than later reflect the damage. Inflation will inevitably come down in a rapid manner as Americans have less and less cash on hand or accessible credit to spend on both essential and non-essential goods and services. Data showing a significantly reduced rate of inflation could help Biden by offsetting other economic data that turns sour prior to election day 2024. In any case, the sitting president will get more blame and/or credit for the current state of economy just as they always do.
