In a surprising turn of events, Charlamagne Tha God, popular host of “The Breakfast Club,” has voiced his plea to President Joe Biden, urging him not to seek reelection in 2024. With a touch of humor, Charlamagne referred to it as “the ultimate Christmas gift.”
Charlamagne made his appeal while guest-hosting Comedy Central’s The Daily Show, drawing attention to Biden’s recent comment where he expressed uncertainty about running for a second term if former President Donald Trump wasn’t his opponent.
“This is Biden’s ego talking,” Charlamagne remarked. “If he believes there are other candidates who can defeat him, then he should step aside. I know he’s confident, but the polls indicate otherwise. I want Biden to enter the race against Trump like he would step in to defend me in a bar fight. I appreciate the concern, but I’m unsure about our chances!”
Not stopping there, Charlamagne also indirectly criticized Vice President Kamala Harris, emphasizing Biden’s age and lack of potential for increased popularity or a new running mate.
“The facts are, Biden is not getting any younger,” he added. “His popularity isn’t soaring, and he won’t be selecting a new running mate. So, please, Mr. President, give America the ultimate Christmas gift and step aside.”
According to a CNN poll, Biden’s approval rating in November plummeted to its lowest point since assuming office in 2021, coming in at 37 percent. This decline has sparked further debate about the viability of a second term for the president.
It’s worth mentioning that “The Breakfast Club” was the stage for a controversial interview with Biden during his 2020 campaign. In that interview, he infamously told Charlamagne Tha God, “If you’re unsure whether to support me or Trump, then you ain’t black.” This incident has remained a topic of discussion, highlighting the challenges and missteps of Biden’s presidency.
Charlamagne, known for his candid remarks, previously suggested that Biden might be experiencing cognitive decline, humorously referencing a moment where he appeared to be speaking to a ghost. These comments fuel the ongoing speculation surrounding Biden’s mental acuity.
Charlamagne Tha God’s plea for Biden to reconsider his reelection bid has garnered attention as the political landscape evolves. It remains to be seen how this request will impact the president’s decision-making process leading up to the 2024 election.
