Democrats looking ahead to 2024 see President Biden — whose poll numbers are dropping as fast as prices are rising — as a liability who could potentially lose to a Republican, according to a new report.

Some within his own party reportedly fear Biden’s age, weakened political standing, perceived shakiness on the world stage and lack of ability to enthuse voters could scuttle his chances for re-election.

“To say our country was on the right track would flagrantly depart from reality,” Steve Simeonidis, a Democratic National Committee member from Miami, told the New York Times. 

The president “should announce his intent not to seek re-election in ’24 right after the midterms,” Simeonidis said. 

Biden and his administration are bedeviled by the highest rate of inflation in four decades, gas prices that have shot up beyond $5 a gallon, recent horrific mass shootings in Buffalo and Texas, a Supreme Court that appears poised to strike down Roe v. Wade and a domestic agenda that has stalled despite Democrats holding a majority in Congress. ​​
