‘They Want Me To Run’: Biden Misrepresents NYT Poll Showing Most Democrats Don’t Want Him For 2024

President Joe Biden on Tuesday maintained that Democratic voters “want” him to run again in 2024, misrepresenting the results of a recent New York Times/Siena College poll.

The poll, published Monday, found that 64% of Democratic voters want another 2024 candidate. Reporters asked Biden what his message is to Democrats who, based on the poll’s findings, don’t want him running again. The president first claimed that the party does want him in 2024.

“They want me to run,” the president declared.

ABC News’ Ben Gittleson then quickly pointed out the 64% number — a number that the president suggested was incorrect.

“Read the poll. Read the polls, Jack. You guys are all the same. That poll showed that 92% of Democrats, if I ran, would vote for me,” Biden responded, incorrectly citing another portion of the poll.
