Charlamagne Tha God says President Biden can give voters the “ultimate Christmas gift” by not running for reelection.
“I know he thinks he’s got this in the bag, but the polls say otherwise,” the “Breakfast Club” radio personality, whose real name is Lenard McKelvey, said of Biden while guest hosting “The Daily Show” on Wednesday.
Biden in recent months has largely brushed off low poll numbers that some experts say could serve as warning signs for his 2024 reelection bid.
“I want Biden stepping into beat [former President Trump] the way I want him stepping in to defend me at a bar fight. I appreciate you caring, but I don’t like our chances,” Charlamagne told the Comedy Central show’s audience to laughs.
“The point is, we don’t need Biden to beat Donald Trump just like we didn’t need [late Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg] to stay on the court,” he said.
“Maybe if RBG had retired during the Obama years, we’d still have Roe v. Wade,” he continued.
“But people said, ‘No, she needs to be here to protect Roe.’ And now look, both of them are gone.”
Ginsburg died in 2020 at 87. The Supreme Court struck down Roe v. Wade, ending the constitutional right to an abortion, last year.
“The facts are: Biden is not getting any younger, he’s not gonna get any more popular and he’s not getting a new running mate,” Charlamagne said.
“So please, Mr. President, give America the ultimate Christmas gift and step aside.”
