Former White House official David Axelrod on Sunday recommended that US President Joe Biden rethink his decision to run in the 2024 US presidential elections. Writing on X, formerly Twitter, Axelrod said, "It's very late to change horses; a lot will happen in the next year that no one can predict & Biden's team says his resolve to run is firm." "The POTUS is justly proud of his accomplishments," Axelrod, who served as a senior adviser to former US President Barack Obama, added. "Trump is a dangerous, unhinged demagogue whose brazen disdain for the rules, norms, laws and institutions or democracy should be disqualifying. But the stakes of miscalculation here are too dramatic to ignore." "Only JoeBiden can make this decision. If he continues to run, he will be the nominee of the Democratic Party. What he needs to decide is whether that is wise; whether it's in HIS best interest or the country's?"
