Biden ‘past his prime’: Bill Ackman says president drop out of 2024 race
The New York Post ^ | 01/13/2024 | Dana Kennedy

Activist billionaire Bill Ackman says President Biden is too old to run for re-election and should drop out of the race for the White House.

Ackman told CNBC’s “Squawkbox” he does not think Biden should run for re-election.

“So one, I’ve always been a centrist, always believed in supporting whoever is best for the country — Republican, independent, Democrat,” said Ackman. “I think it’s really important that Biden steps aside.”

Ackman, who was being interviewed about his recent fight with Harvard University, only made his remarks after being asked about the 2024 presidential race, Fox News reported.

“Just on the age, past his prime issue, I think a good part of the reason why we have what’s going on in the world geopolitically is he’s perceived as a weak president. And he will be even weaker.” *** Ackman did not say if he would vote for Donald Trump rather than Biden.

“I’ll make that decision when I have the choice,” he said.

Ackman has been in the news recently for criticizing Harvard’s former president, Claudine Gay. *** Ackman, the CEO of Pershing Square Capital Management, received both his bachelor’s degree and MBA from Harvard and has been a major donor to the institution. ***

Ackman, a Cory Booker supporter, is anything but centrist. He is just portraying himself as such to garner support for Israel and his fellow Jews.

That said, I think that the writing is on the wall for Biden.

It is starting. Unfortunately, if they ditch Biden, but bypass Kamala, they will face a backlash for being racist and sexist. Which brings us to Big Mike...

Not sure of his “Sell By” date - check with the ChiComs - they’ll know better than anyone else.

How would we know?

Biden has been a corrupt, nasty idiot his entire life.

Who’s to say he’s not actually better this way than he was 30 years ago?

The party that ditches their geriatric candidate wins in a landslide.

It will definitely be a “person of color” for the win.

True, in the 1980s and beyond he already had the nickname “the human gaffe machine.” But not this bad or wandering around slowly and aimlessly until someone shows him how to get off the stage.

What if his “prime” was past but he has 25 more years to be in the spotlight? After age 81.

Frank Sinatra’s sang The Best Is Yet to Come at a private party for 1,200 select guests on the closing night of the Frank Sinatra Desert Classic golf tournament, his last song before a live audience.
He died on May 14, 1998, at the age of 82.

Joe Biden has never had a day in his life where he was within a trillion light years of the talent that Frank was.

Copied my own post from a previous thread.

I have said here FOREVER that Biden “WILL NOT BE” the Democrat nominee.

They are not suicidal! Maybe they had hoped to be able to prop up Biden as they have these last 3 years, but its obvious, he can’t last much longer.

Its also about the down ballot. What kind of “coattails” would Biden have? (poop stained)?

They could have Biden say that he is just TOO OLD! For the good of the country, I’m stepping aside so a younger person can lead this country.

BECAUSE Trump is also OLD! I know, Trump is as sharp as a tack and Biden is a slobbering old fool, with dementia, and incontinence issues, and EVIL, but they will use this as a wedge issue against Trump. They can’t if Biden runs. (no pun intended)
