- CNN panelists appeared baffled by the certainty with which analyst Bakari Sellers claimed that President Joe Biden was likely to face a challenger going into the 2024 Democratic primary election.
- Noting that President Biden has not wavered from his initial claim — that he intends “to run” for re-election in 2024 — analyst Paul Begala added, “Why wouldn’t he? You have to ask somebody else, I think he’s doing a great job. I’m a – kind of a Biden guy, I like what he’s doing.”
- Begala went on to say that there had been “a lot of emerging new stars” in the Democratic Party, however, suggesting that if Biden were to bow out, the party had enough depth to work around that.
