The refusal is congruent with Biden's declining approval ratings.

    A sad, contemplating Joe Biden. 

Whispers among Democrat party members are becoming increasingly audible, that Joe Biden, in the coming 2024 elections, should not be running.

The New York Times wrote that Democrats are becoming increasingly frustrated with Biden's futile abilities to advance the most important items on his agenda in his presidential term. 

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. 

“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,” said David Axelrod, the chief strategist for Barack Obama’s two winning presidential campaigns.

The Times came down to this conclusion after interviewing 50 Democrat officials, from county leaders to members of Congress, in addition to disappointed base voters who supported Biden in 2020. Democrats are worried about Republicans' rising strengths and have expressed themselves to be extraordinarily pessimistic about the future. 

“To say our country was on the right track would flagrantly depart from reality,” said Steve Simeonidis, a Democratic National Committee member from Miami. He said that Biden “should announce his intent not to seek re-election in ’24 right after the midterms.”

However, most Democrats are resultant, 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. 

The Times also wrote, "That has left Democratic leaders 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, 73%, which is 9 percentage points lower than 2021. 

Lamenting “a great national loss of hope,” Alex Wyshyvanuk, 33, a data analyst from Annapolis, said he won't be voting for Biden in 2024.

“I need an equivalent of Ron DeSantis, a Democrat, but not a 70- or 80-year-old — a younger person,” he said. “Someone who knows what worked for you in 1980 is not going to work for you in 2022 or 2024."
