Teachers Union All-In For Destroying Student Learning Fawns Over Harris

If students were doing well, the AFT and Harris would want to shout it from the rooftops. But there is painfully little to brag about for government-run schooling.

Democratic lawmaker describes 'the nightmare scenario for Democrats' during the 2024 presidential cycle



A Democratic lawmaker reportedly said that if President Joe Biden were to become the party's presidential nominee but then prove to be unable to remain in that role, that would represent "the nightmare scenario for Democrats."

"The worst-case scenario is we get past the nominating process with President Biden as the nominee, and then he's no longer able to continue on as the nominee," the individual said, according to the Washington Post.

Biden, the oldest president in U.S. history, will turn 81 later this year and would be 86 by the end of a second term in office. But despite his advanced age, the incumbent appears likely to secure his party's presidential nod once again.

"He is in a period of his life where passing and death is imminent," Sharon Sweda of the Lorain County Democratic Party in Ohio said, according to the Post. The outlet reported that Sweda said she hears from people concerned about Biden's possible frailty. "We are all on a ticking clock. But when you’re at his age or at Trump’s age, that clock is ticking a little faster, and that's a concern for voters."

Former President Donald Trump, who appears likely to secure the Republican presidential nomination again, is currently 77 and would be 82 by the end of his second term if elected in 2024.

The Post reported that a House Democrat indicated that he has heard concerns from lawmakers and Democratic donors regarding whether Biden can handle a campaign and a second four-year term. "You don't want to do anything to undercut the person who is going to be your nominee," the lawmaker reportedly noted. "At the same time, these concerns are very real."

"Coming off the president's historic midterm performance, President Biden is delivering results, his agenda is popular with the American people, and we are mobilizing our winning coalition of voters well ahead of next year's general election,” Biden campaign spokesperson Kevin Munoz said, according to the Post. "Next year's election will be a stark choice between President Biden and the extreme, unpopular MAGA agenda. We'll win in 2024 by putting our heads down and doing the work, not by fretting about polls."

Democratic Rep. Dean Phillips is calling for President Joe Biden to 'pass the torch'



Democratic Rep. Dean Phillips of Minnesota does not think President Joe Biden should be his party's 2024 presidential nominee.

"I want him to preserve his legacy, not to compromise it," Phillips said, according to the Washington Post. "And this is exactly why I'm asking — pass the torch, open the stage."

Former President Donald Trump has been trouncing the rest of the GOP presidential primary field and appears to be on track to win the Republican presidential nomination for the third time in a row.

Phillips, who has served as a member of Congress since 2019, is concerned that Biden would lose to Trump in the general election.

"We're at grave risk of another Trump presidency," Phillips said, according to the Post. "I'm doing this to prevent a return of Donald Trump to the White House."

"I just felt compelled to raise my voice in the face of what I consider to be an unwillingness to confront the truth right now," he said.

"I do not want a repeat of 2016 when we essentially anointed someone, it was her turn, and ... look what happened. I think we're sleepwalking into the very same mistake again," he warned during an interview with PBS NewsHour White House correspondent Laura Barrón-López.

He is calling for "moderate governors" to think about getting into the Democratic primary.

While the lawmaker told Barrón-López that he does not expect to challenge Biden himself, he seems to be leaving the door open to the possibility of mounting a presidential bid.

"If, and only if, the president doesn't pass the torch, if his numbers continue to look like they do right now, and nobody is willing to be an alternative, then I will be making a really important decision, and I have not made that yet," he said, according to the Washington Post.

CNN poll: Majority of Democrats don't want Biden back in 2024, and there's little enthusiasm for other DNC candidates



A new CNN poll finds that a majority of Democrats and Democratic-leaning independent voters would prefer that the DNC nominate a different candidate other than President Joe Biden in 2024.

The CNN poll of 1,527 voters conducted by SSRS Research reveals that 51% of registered Democrats and Democrat-leaning voters would prefer a different candidate other than Biden in the 2024 election, versus 45% who want to renominate President Biden. There were 5% who were undecided. Biden's 45% support lags far behind a March 2010 poll that showed 79% of Democratic voters supported then-President Barack Obama.

As for the reasons not to support Biden, 35% believed that Biden couldn't win against Republicans, 31% said they don't want the president to be reelected, and 19% noted that the president's age worries them. Biden is currently 79-years-old and would be 81 once he takes office in 2024.

When Democrats were asked if there was a "specific person you'd like to see the Democratic Party nominate for president in 2024," a whopping 72% declared they "just someone besides Joe Biden."

However, the potential 2024 Democratic presidential nominees didn't inspire the passion of voters. The top candidate – with only 5% backing – was Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.). The rest of the uninspiring candidates include former First Lady Michelle Obama (4%), Pete Buttigieg (2%), Vice President Kamala Harris (2%), Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) (1%), Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) (1%), and talk show host Oprah Winfrey (1%).

Looking at the 2024 election from the Republican side, the polls found that former President Donald Trump is the top pick, but by a slim margin. According to the survey of Republicans and Republican-leaning independent voters between Jan. 10 and Feb. 6, 50% want Trump to be the GOP nominee in 2024, while 49% would prefer another candidate. This is a major drop from Trump's polling numbers in March 2018 when 77% of Republican voters wanted him to be nominated again in 2020.

As for their reasoning, there are 39% who simply don't want Trump to be president again, and 22% who don't believe the former president could beat the Democratic candidate in 2024.

There are 60% who want "just someone other than Trump." Of potential GOP presidential candidates in 2024, there appears to be only one threat to Trump – Republican Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis. The Republican governor of Florida garnered 21% of the vote, while the third-place contenders languished far behind. The next candidates grabbed a mere 1% of the interest from Republican voters, including Donald Trump Jr., Rep. Dan Crenshaw (R-Texas), Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.), former U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley, former Vice President Mike Pence, Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas), Sen. Tim Scott (R-S.C.), Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan (R), and South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem (R).

Nearly a year ago, the Conservative Political Action Conference straw poll showed that 68% of CPAC attendees said Trump should run for president in 2024, and the runner-up was DeSantis at 21%, followed by Noem at 4%, and Haley at 3%.

Joe Biden's latest court-packing non-answer: I'm open to it, but it depends



Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden on Thursday gave his most definitive non-answer yet on whether he would, as president of the United States, sign a law expanding the number of justices on the Supreme Court should Congress confirm President Donald Trump's nominee, Judge Amy Coney Barrett.

Under pressure in the town hall setting, Biden said he would be open to packing the court, depending on how the Barrett confirmation is handled in the Senate.

During an ABC News town hall, host George Stephanopoulos asked Biden about his position on packing the court, noting that one year ago at a Democratic primary debate, Biden said he was opposed to the idea now being advocated by some Democrats.

"I have not been a fan of court-packing because ... whoever wins, it just keeps moving in a way that is inconsistent with what is going to be manageable," Biden said.

"So, you're still not a fan?" Stephanopoulos asked.

"Well, I'm not a fan. It depends on how this turns out, not how [Trump] wins, but how it's handled," Biden said, referring to the confirmation vote for Barrett.

"What does that mean, how it's handled?" Stephanopoulos pressed.

"Well, for example, if there's actually real live debate on the floor, if people are really going to be able to have a time to go through this — you know, I don't know anybody who's gone on the floor and just, that's been a controversial justice, in terms of fundamentally altering the makeup of the court, that's gone through in a day kind of thing. I mean, it depends on how much they rush this," Biden answered.

"So, if they vote on it before the election, you are open to expanding the court?" Stephanopoulos asked Biden.

"I am open to considering what happens from that point on," Biden said.

Stephanopoulos attempted to get a more specific answer from Biden, who deflected.

"No matter what answer I gave you, if I say it, that's the headline tomorrow. It won't be about what's going on now, the improper way they're proceeding," Biden said.

"But don't voters have a right to know where you stand?" Stephanopoulos followed up.

"They do have a right to know where I stand, and they'll have a right to know where I stand before they vote," Biden admitted.

"So you'll come out with a clear position before Election Day?" Stephanopoulos asked.

"Yes, depending on how they handle this," Biden concluded.
