Left-wing group to launch national '#DontRunJoe' campaign, saying Biden 'will have a fight on his hands' if he runs again

A progressive group founded by supporters of Sen. Bernie Sanders plans to launch a national "#DontRunJoe" campaign, saying President Joe Biden "will have a fight on his hands" if he plans to run for re-election in 2024.

RootsAction.org, an online activist group, will spend six figures on the campaign and launch digital ads in early nominating states one day after the midterm elections on November 9, POLITICO first reported.

The 1.3-million-member group says in a statement on its "DontRunJoe" website that Biden has unfortunately been "neither bold nor inspiring."

"And his prospects for winning re-election appear to be bleak," the statement continues. "With so much at stake, making him the Democratic Party's standard bearer in 2024 would be a tragic mistake."
