Ex-Trump aide warns ‘Democrats going to regret’ a Biden 2024 rerun

Democrats are ‘going to regret’ backing Joe Biden for a second term in the White House because typical voting patterns among certain demographics are changing and the President will not be able to win them over. Kellyanne Elizabeth Conway, former Senior Counsellor to Donald Trump, called Mr Biden a ‘corpse’ and suggested the midterms appeared to have paved the way for the President to launch his rerun campaign. As power over Congress remains in the balance, with votes still being counted, both sides of the political spectrum are beginning to evaluate the results and prepare for the 2024 presidential election. After Donald Trump’s endorsed candidates had mixed success in the midterms, the Republicans now face a choice between the former President and the Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, considered the future of the party.  Ms Conway said: ‘We are in a realignment time and the dynamic changes of some demographic cohorts going away from the Democratic Party are not showing up in all the races in the final tallies. ‘Overall, nationwide, that is good news for 2024. You keep talking about a corpse, that Democrats would vote for a corpse, and not coincidentally, today Joe Biden held a press conference and in it, he was asked what he would do differently. ‘He said, ‘Nothing’. So, I think what happened during these midterms is we got closer to Joe Biden being the Presidential nominee alongside Kamala Harris in 2024. Democrats are going to regret that.’  Kellyanne Elizabeth Conway, former Senior Counsellor to Donald Trump, slammed Biden (Image: FOX NEWS ) Speaking at the White House on Wednesday, Mr Biden said his ‘intention’ is to run again (Image: GETTY )Speaking at the White House on Wednesday, Mr Biden said his ‘intention’ is to run again after a midterm election that avoided complete disaster for the Democrats. A ‘red tsunami’ of Republican support was expected to sweep the nation, reversing control of Congress and leaving Mr Biden handcuffed. Although the Republicans look poised to take the House of Representatives, the lower chamber of Congress, and could yet take the Senate, their success has been considerably more slight than anticipated.   Noting the emerging competition between Trump and Republican up-and-comer Ron DeSantis, who won a major landslide victory for the Florida governorship, Mr Biden added that, irrespective of his own campaign it would be ‘fun watching them take on each other’ in the presidential primaries.READ MORE: Biden warned Democrat plans will be ‘dead on arrival’ [REPORT]  Trump speaks to the media during an election night event at Mar-a-Lago on Tuesday (Image: GETTY )Tuesday night’s disappointing results for the GOP are raising new questions about Mr Trump’s appeal and the future of a party that has fully embraced him, seemingly at its peril, while at the same time giving new momentum to his most potent potential rival.Indeed, some allies were calling on Trump to delay his planned announcement next week, saying the party’s full focus needs to be on Georgia, where Trump-backed football great Herschel Walker’s effort to unseat Democratic Sen. Raphael Warnock is headed to a runoff that could determine control of the Senate once again.’I’ll be advising him that he move his announcement until after the Georgia runoff,’ said former Trump adviser Jason Miller, who spent the night with the former president at his Mar-a-Lago club in Florida. ‘Georgia needs to be the focus of every Republican in the country right now,” he said.DON’T MISS: Trump’s ‘ego overrides reason’ as ex-POTUS looks set to face DeSantis [REPORT] Midterm ‘red tsunami’ flops as Trump-endorsed candidates ‘too extreme’ [REVEAL] Joe Biden preparing for ‘horrible two years’ if Republicans win  [REPORT]  Ron DeSantis is seen by some in the GOP as the future of the Party (Image: GETTY )Trump sought to use the midterms as an opportunity to prove his enduring political influence after losing the White House in 2020. He endorsed more than 330 candidates in races up and down the ballot, often elevating inexperienced and deeply flawed candidates. He revelled in their primary victories. But many of their positions, including echoing Trump’s lies about a stolen 2020 election and embracing hardline views on abortion, were out of step with the political mainstream.In Pennsylvania, Dr Mehmet Oz, who only narrowly won his Senate primary with Mr Trump’s backing, lost to Democrat John Fetterman. Trump-backed candidates also lost governors’ races in Pennsylvania, Michigan and Maryland, and a Senate race in New Hampshire, though President Trump seemed to celebrate the latter, bashing Republican Dan Bolduc for trying to moderate his stances by backing off his embrace of Trump’s election lies.READ NEXT: Donald Trump urged to delay White House bid announcementTrump blasted after GOP performance with own insultFarage backs Trump after humiliating midterms’Livid’ Donald Trump ‘screaming at everyone”Trump and DeSantis need to strike a quick deal to take on Democrats’
