By Mike Memoli, Carol E. Lee, Peter Nicholas and Peter Alexander
WASHINGTON — At fundraisers and on the sidelines of events in recent weeks, Joe Biden has been selling Democrats — on Joe Biden for 2024.

It’s an unusual sales pitch reflecting an unusual political moment: the nation’s oldest sitting president, with a weakened political standing, grappling with questions in his own party about whether he will, or even should, run for another term, shaped by the prospect of a rematch against Donald Trump.

People who have spoken with the president described to NBC News what’s become a familiar exercise. Biden will argue he’s the only one who can beat Trump, sometimes ticking through the names of potential Democratic candidates if he stepped aside — Bernie Sanders, Elizabeth Warren, Pete Buttigieg, even Vice President Kamala Harris. Then rhetorically asks: Can any of them beat his 2020 rival?

The names he listed maybe couldn’t beat Trump, but these names could:

Eric Adams
Andy Beshear
Roy Cooper
Gavin Newsom
Jared Polis

Why do we have to keep falling back on the same old bad candidates when we have better candidates on the bench?

He may mean it rhetorically, but it's a backfire.  Any of them could and would do better.

If Biden stops saying he's running in 2024, he instantly becomes a lame duck, which kneecaps his presidency. Even if he's not running, he'll say he is as long as possible. Between health and other issues, like with Trump, I think he's about a 50/50 chance of being the nominee.

Honestly Trump is way easier to beat than DeSantis will be.
