Dick Morris, an ex-top adviser to former President Bill Clinton, says there’s a “good chance” of a 2024 rematch between Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump.
Morris told John Catsimatidis on the radio host’s WABC show last Sunday that if Democrats lose control of Congress in the 2022 midterm elections, President Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris will be toast — paving the way for a second Hillary bid, with husband Bill playing an architect to her strategy.
“There’s a good chance of it,” said Morris, referring to a Hillary-Trump rematch.
“Hillary has set up a brilliant strategy that nobody else is able to do,” Morris added. “Knowing the people around her, I believe there is only one person capable of that level of thinking — and that’s her husband, Bill. The second the election is over … every Democrat is going to take a shot at Biden and Harris. They will be DOA,” Morris said.
Hillary has been warning her party for quite some time now of the dangers of aligning itself with the policies of progressive Democrats. While Democrats continue to criticize Joe Biden and his too far-left-leaning policies, Clinton almost seems normal again to the moderate Democrat.
”She has set up a zero-sum game where the worse [Biden] does, the better she does, because she’s positioned herself as the Democratic alternative to Biden. Not just to Biden, but to the extreme left in the Democratic Party,” Morris said.
As horrific as this all sounds, Morris does have a point. Joe Biden has actually normalized former disasters. Hillary, once disastrous for the party now looks quite attractive compared to the radicals running the White House.
In an interview with MSNBC, Hillary, the former secretary of state in the Obama administration, cautioned Democrats to take time for “some careful thinking” about winning elections, “not just in deep-blue districts where a Democrat and a liberal Democrat, or so-called progressive Democrat, is going to win.”
Morris said, “She was right about that. She staked out a ground, not on ideological issues, but on pragmatism.”
Clinton seems to be taking a few shots of her own against the Biden Administration as they struggle to please both the moderates and progressives as well as their constant struggles to pass legislation in a Democrat-controlled Congress.
The Wall Street Journal also seems to be running defense for the 2016 Presidential Candidate saying the poor poll numbers for Biden and Harris, as well as Harris’ own unpopularity, could open the door for the former first lady.
“She is already in an advantageous position to become the 2024 Democratic nominee,” wrote Democratic political consultant Doug Schoen and former Manhattan Borough President Andrew Stein about the 74-year-old Clinton.
