Well, it is now too late for the Democrats to replace Joe Biden on the 2024 ballot for president, and even Barack Obama’s chief political strategist says so.
So, despite the constant grumbling among leftists who keep saying that they could dump Biden and Harris and put someone else on the ticket for 2024, Obama’s chief strategist, David Axelrod, says that it is now too late to replace Biden with anyone on the ticket for 2024.
Axelrod said Biden is “going to run,” Fox News reported.
And he added, “Give up on sort of the fantasy of that there’s going to be another candidate.”
Despite Bill Maher and other top Democrats' fears about Joe Biden, David Axelrod assures that Biden will not be swapped out for another candidate:

“The debate is June 27, and we’ve never had one before the convention,” Maher said. “If Joe really s—s the bed, would that be a good opportunity to make the switch then?”
“Listen, that is a fantasy that I hear a lot,” Axelrod responded. “I like Joe Biden and I worked with him and I was grateful to work with him and I think he’s done a lot of very, very fine things as president for which history will be kind him. That’s not the question. The question is whether at this age you should have run, but he did run. And right now he is the nominee of the Democratic Party.”
ADVERTISEMENT“This is not 1968 where the convention is gonna decide. We changed the rules. Voters nominate a candidate. They’ve nominated Joe Biden, and he’s not going anywhere,” Axelrod told Maher. “There’s no generation of elders who are gonna go to the White House and tell him that he can’t run. He is going to run and one of the reasons they want an early debate I’m sure is to focus people on this is the choice! It’s Trump and Biden.”
It is also far too late to get anyone else on the ballot, now.
A new candidate would not have enough time get on the ballot, even if they announced right now. There just isn’t time to get petitions signed and ballot filings made. And in some states, the deadline is already past.
Democrats, you are no officially stuck with Joe Biden.
