‘Young Turks’ host Cenk Uygur announces primary bid against Biden
The Hill ^ | 10/11/23 8:26 PM ET | BY FILIP TIMOTIJA

Posted on 10/11/2023 11:56:45 PM PDT by RandFan

“The Young Turks” founder Cenk Uygur announced on his show Wednesday that he will run for president as a Democrat, directly challenging President Biden.

“[Biden] is not going to win,” Uygur said during the announcement. “It should not have been me, it should have been somebody else, but unfortunately it was not anyone else. There’s only four months left. We must change course. He has at best a 10 percent chance of winning. I’m running as a proxy. I am running to win. But I am also running as a proxy for any other candidate.”

The progressive media host has called for Biden to drop out of the race, stating repeatedly that democracy is on the line, referring to former President Trump’s 2024 run.

“We have got to get Biden out of the race,” Uygur said. “Thank you for winning in 2020. But if he loses this time around, it’s not just his problem, it’s all of our problems. I actually think democracy is on the line, and so if it takes me running, that’s what I’m gonna do.

Uygur has a big obstacle to overcome in his run for the White House.

Born in Istanbul, Turkey, Uygur immigrated to the U.S. at 8 years old. He believes that the Constitution’s “Natural Born Citizen” clause will not prevent him in his effort, believing that he can win the battle in the Supreme Court.

“I have lawyered up,” Uygur said.

He shouldn't even be allowed to register to run.

Now that’s funny.

This sad sack with a dwindling podcast thinks he’s relevant.

Can’t wait to see how badly Jimmy Dore roasts him.

No, lets give him a ‘chance’. I’m pretty sure that a third of Biden-voters would be very happy to vote in the primary for Cenk. It really says more about the negativity brewing with Joe Biden, than anything else.

Needs his 15 minutes of fame. Will his base be similar to the numbers of MSDNC viewership.

Old Chunk or whatever the hell his name is hasn’t noticed any problems relating to Eff Joes presidency?

You have to give him credit that he believes his lies so completely, that he runs for president.

He couldn’t win a Congressional seat in California! I hope Red Eagle will do a YouTube video on this.

Replace one dope with another. I think the wokesters will eventually have to move to Wokeanistan and be given psychedelics for them to think they achieved their ideal state.

This foul mouthed loser couldn’t even finish in top three in the California Congressional race to replace degenerate Katie Hill. He must get off on getting utterly embarrassed.

Here is something to note and remember. Cenk Uygur and the Young Turks backed AOC’s campaign from the very beginning resulting in her election to the US House as a progressive.

Uygur celebrated her win with this election victory video or about 12 minutes,...listen carefully:

The Dems Squad’s origins must include this bit of history.
