Axelrod calls talk of replacing Biden 'irrelevant today'

Democratic strategist David Axelrod on Saturday called discussions about replacing President Biden at the top of the Democratic ticket “irrelevant,” as the party continues to face the fallout from the Thursday night debate.

The former Obama White House senior adviser said the appropriate time to have the discussion would have been last year.

“Reality check: @JoeBiden is the nominee of the Democratic Party, nominated by voters in primaries across the country,” Axelrod wrote on the social platform X.
