CNN Panel: Biden Is ‘Not in a Position’ to Win Race, Recent Interviews Hasn’t Helped Him

EXCERPT:

AXELROD: “And something has happened. Anderson, in the last several weeks between the debate, the events of Saturday and the assassination attempt, the way president, former President Trump reacted to it with the iconic photo. It‘s crystallized something that has sent the numbers spiraling to the degree they can in a very polarized country. So, look, there are three things that you look at. You know, one is polling, and the polling is getting worse. The battleground, which is getting larger, there were seven battleground, six or perhaps seven battleground states to start. Now you have 11 or 12. And then money, do you have the resources to compete? And that money has dried up and now donors are not talking about, 'How do we shore up the president?' They're talking about, 'How do we shore up the House? How do we shore up the Senate?' And that‘s where they‘re shifting their resources. This is inexorable, and I don‘t say this with any pleasure at all because I worked with Joe Biden, he‘s served his country well for most of his life, and this is not the coda that he wants on his career. And I think that‘s what people are telling him, that he can help improve the chances of winning a race that he says is existential, but the way he has to do it is to exit. And there will be a discussion about whether it‘s the vice president or not. She certainly is the likely candidate, maybe not the certain candidate, but what is certain is, he is not in a position to win this race any longer."
