then i will be the process. my guess is it will be early next year to make that judgment. my plan to do it now. so, here you saw saw him saying he plans to run. the fact he did historically well for a midterm president, do you think that will influence his decision to run 2024? i think it could. if you look at an interesting statistic of voters that somewhat disapprove of how biden is doing, 49% of them still voted for the democrat. he is not hurting the party as much as trump is comparatively speaking. the democrat also did well with independents. 49% voted democrat over 47% for republicans. the democrats are doing well in a lot of categories. in spite of the fact he doesn t have a great approval rating. the democrats are going to
want to publicly criticize trump. that are willing to just go the extra mile for him. if they decide to stick with him, i don t think they will do well in 2024. who will republicans be facing in 2024? that s the question. joe biden after these midterms was sounding very positive. and talking about running again. here is what he said. the answer is yes. the plan was the run for reelection. that is my expectation. do you plan to run for reelection? yes. look, my intentions i said to begin with is i would run again. is it a firm decision that i would run again? that remains to be seen. you think you will make a decision before the end of the year? look, i m not going to make this about my decision. after that is done in november,
democratic. and i think the republicans misunderstood how energized the democratic base would be. true, the economy was important. it didn t end up being important enough to lead to a republican wave. this is despite the fact that a party in opposition to the incumbent president typically does really well in midterms. this is in spite of the fact that the republicans gerrymandered seven districts in their favor and 30 laws passed since 2020 that restricted voting. so, the republicans really should have done a lot better and i think the elephant in the room of course is trump. he appear to be a liability to the party and republicans will have to rethink about whether he is the future. let me ask you about that. it has been a bad year for donald trump with all the legal issues. it seems to be getting worse. his party underperformed and
his major rival ron desantis had a huge win and is crowned by the right wing media as the leader of the party. but you know, quitting donald trump, it is harder than it seems. are they really going to pivot away from them? that s a great question. and i don t know if they are. they seem to be transfixed by him. trump has a psychological hold on this party. even to their detriment. i think they believe that he is able to really motivate the base. and get them out to vote like no other candidate is. i think what they are missing is trump equally motivates people to vote for the opposition. ron desantis had a good night. he was viewed as a governor who was able to handle hurricane ian well and worked with joe biden on that and he won his election bid handily. he will be the biggest challenger to donald trump. the question is whether or not people can move away from him. right now, we still have republicans that don t even
mail-in ballots are counted, i kind of expected this a little bit to see republicans doing well one minute. doing well another. so, this is pretty normal for what you expect and how mail-in ballots favor democrats. we saw latinos in florida vote in huge numbers for republican. are we seeing a similar shift in nevada as well? we have seen both candidates in the senate races. both candidates reaching out to latino voters. the culinary union was out canvassing, using spanish and english. we ll have to wait and see how those break down. i think that time will tell again. all right, well we will all
