US Democrat congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, is unlikely to endorse Joe Biden if he runs for a second term of the Presidency. Growing anxiety in Democrat circles is becoming more visible. 

The New York representative said that back in November’s midterms, she was more focused on attempting to preserve the congressional majority for Democrats.  When asked if she would support Biden in the next Presidential elections, AOC responded with “We’ll cross that bridge when we get to it.”

Apparently, there is a growing discomfort among Democrats regarding the 79-year-old President running for another term. Chief strategist for Former President Barack Obama’s two winning presidential campaigns, David Axelrod, had voiced that “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.”

As reported by The New York Times on Saturday, “dozens of frustrated Democratic officials, members of Congress and voters” were unconvinced Biden possessed the capability to turn around the party’s fortunes.

With declining approval rates, one which suggests that the majority of answers believe that Biden is not mentally fit to run the country, the NYT in its article suggests that Democrats in union meetings, Capitol Hill's back rooms, and party gatherings nationwide are all questioning Biden's leadership capabilities and his age, in addition to his ability to win over Trump in 2024.

However, most Democrats are reluctant, even shy to point out Biden's incompetencies. “I’m not allowed to have feelings right now,” said Jasmine Crockett, a Texas state representative. 

The failures to deal with the US' domestic issues have left Democrats struggling to explain bad situations. 

According to The Times, "Democratic leaders (are) struggling to explain away a series of calamities for the party that all seem beyond Mr. Biden’s control: inflation rates unseen in four decades, surging gas prices, a lingering pandemic, a spate of mass shootings, a Supreme Court poised to end the federal right to an abortion and key congressional Democrats’ refusal to muscle through the president’s Build Back Better agenda or an expansion of voting rights."

Last month, a survey by the Associated Press found that Biden's approval among party members has reached its lowest point during his tenure, 37%, which is 9 percentage points lower than 2021.
