CNN commentator Van Jones suggested that Joe Biden, whom he described as “uninspiring and fragile,” should adopt a low-profile campaign strategy for the 2024 election, allowing others to speak on his behalf.

Jones criticized Biden’s ability to inspire confidence and act as a messenger for himself, despite praising his handling of the economy.

Van Jones said, “If I were Biden, I would stay hidden, and I’ll tell you why. He doesn’t inspire confidence, and he’s not a great messenger for himself.”

“He has done a tremendous job for this economy. Union members, union leaders have — are racking up win after win. They should be put forward. There are clean-energy executives in red states that are putting people to work,” he continued.

“There’s something wrong with this campaign where we are somehow expecting Joe Biden — frankly, he hid during the last campaign — to just somehow come out and be Flash Gordon and save his own campaign. The people who are benefiting from the Biden economy — and they exist — should be empowered to speak,” explained Jones.

Concerns about Biden’s electability, age, and cognitive abilities have prompted discussions about his potential replacement, with some suggesting Michelle Obama as a replacement at the Democratic convention.

Jones warned that the GOP is not afraid to run against what he perceives as Biden’s fragility.

“Part of what we’re looking at as Trump’s strength, his resilience, is really a reflection of Biden’s fragility,” added Jones.
