'Great Trouble': Pramila Jayapal Issues Dire Warning To Biden On 2024 Election

Rep. Pramila Jayapal (D-Wash.) warned of reelection concerns for Joe Biden as a pair of national polls paint a troubling picture for the presidents reelection bid in 2024.

In an interview with MSNBC s Jen Psaki, the Congressional Progressive Caucus chair weighed in on Rep. Rashida Tlaib s (D-Mich.) criticism of Biden. Tlaib called for Israel to cease its strikes on Gaza and accused the president of supporting the genocide of the Palestinian people.

Jayapal, who has also called for a cease-fire , declined to use the word genocide but noted that Tlaib isnt the first person to use the term .

The Washington state Democrat told Psaki that we have to do everything we can to reelect Biden, adding that its important to recognize that we live in a very divided country.

You have said that polls really dont reflect where people are. I agree with you but I will tell you this is the first time, Jen, that I have felt like the 2024 election is in great trouble for the president and for our democratic control, which is essential to moving forward, she said on MSNBC s Inside.

She continued: Because these young people Muslim Americans, Arab Americans but also young people see this conflict as a moral conflict and a moral crisis. And they are not going to be brought back to the table easily if we do not address this.

Biden has seen a massive drop in support from Arab Americans, according to one recently released national poll . A separate New York Times/Siena College poll released Sunday found Biden is trailing former President Donald Trump in five key swing states ahead of a possible faceoff in the 2024 election .

David Axelrod, former President Barack Obama s senior adviser, said the latter poll will send tremors of doubt throughout the Democratic Party .

Not bed-wetting, but legitimate concern, he added in a post on X, formerly Twitter.

Biden campaign spokesperson Kevin Muoz brushed off concerns over the poll.

Well win in 2024 by putting our heads down and doing the work, not by fretting about a poll, Muoz said in a statement .
