MANHATTAN, NEW YORK: Radio host Charlamagne tha God recently expressed his opinion regarding President Joe Biden's disappointing polling results.

According to him, the POTUS has never been an excellent candidate and was elected in the first place due to a "series of unfortunate events" that prevented Donald Trump from returning to office, as per the New York Post.

In an interview with Fox News Digital, the co-host of 'Breakfast Club'  restated his concern that Trump's return to the White House would signal the "end of democracy."

He stated it as the primary reason for being vocal against Biden's 2024 presidential campaign as the radio host was time and again disappointed by the inadequate messaging coming from him and his administration.

Charlamagne tha God believes the Democrats are losing votes of key demographics 

Sharing his opinion on Democrats losing ground over key issues, Charlamagne noted, "Their messaging sucks. Even though they have accomplished some good things while they've been in the White House, nobody knows that."

He continued, "Like, you saw the article where they said Barack Obama went to have lunch with Joe Biden and put a fire under Joe Biden's a** about the campaign."

"And, you know, you hear my OG Jim Clyburn from South Carolina saying he's concerned about Black voters in 2024. And the first thing Joe Biden goes to do, he goes to my hometown, Charleston, South Carolina, my birthplace, and he goes to the Black church, and then he goes to a soul food spot," said the radio host. 

Charlamagne expressed, "They've been doing that same s**t for years. Like, they've been doing the same old stuff for years."

He added, "Democrats shouldn't just be concerned about the Black vote, because when you look at the polls, he's losing with Black voters, he's losing with Latinos, he's losing with independents, he's losing with the youth vote. It's like – damn! Do y'all want to win or not? Because right now they don't look like a winning ticket."

When asked why Biden is losing support among those key demographics, Charlamagne responded, "Because he sucks as a candidate."

Charlamagne questioned the DNC's campaign for the incumbent's reelection, by asking, "Why are we acting like President Biden has ever been like a great presidential candidate?"

Charlamagne tha God says 'nobody wanna party' with President Joe Biden

Further talking about Biden, Charlamagne added, "I mean, the guy's ran quite a few times before and, you know, didn't even get close."

He opined, "Like, if it wasn't for a series of unfortunate circumstances in 2020, COVID in particular, the murder of George Floyd, like, you know, people being in the streets protesting, rioting. And I think that there probably would have been a different outcome in 2020."

"So, he's just never been a good candidate, ever, like in the history of life! Just look at the record of the times he ran before. I just don't think- he's not a good messenger in any way, shape or form. I just don't think he inspires people. These candidates have to inspire you," added Charlamagne. 

The radio host recalled an instance from his own life struggles, saying, "I used to promote parties, man. And when I used to promote parties, people didn't just come to your party. You had to go out there and, you know, promote, and you had to offer people things, whether it was free drinks before 11 or ladies in free before 11."

Charlamagne expressed, "Like, you had to actually offer people things in order to get them energized to want to come out to your party. Nobody wanna party with Joe Biden!"

He claimed, "Like I said, it'd have to be a series of unfortunate events, you know, life-changing, tragic events that make you say, 'Alright, I'm gonna go to his function.' He's just not inspiring in any way, shape or form." 

The radio host suggested, "Maybe he need(s) to find a little bit of that Obama, Bill Clinton energy to inspire people because, yeah, he ain't it."

Charlamagne tha God thinks President Joe Biden is bad at marketing himself

Talking about the importance of focusing on economic struggles, Charlamagne noted, "How can I keep food on the table? How can I keep a roof over my head? We talk about affordable health care, right?… You need money to even be able to afford affordable health care. So, I mean, that's what everybody needs to be focused on."

"How can you put money in people's pockets because that, you know, gives people a sense of security all across the board," argued the radio host. 

He harkened back to the days during the Covid-19 pandemic when stimulus checks were sent out to Americans.

He contended that many people only remember that Trump sent them out because of the way he marketed himself at the time when in reality, Biden also sent out stimulus checks.

Charlamagne shared, "Donald Trump put his name on those first two rounds of stimulus checks. There's people right now talking about that $1,200 that they received. And even though Joe Biden- he put out a round of stimulus checks, too- people don't even remember that because- hey man, let's face it, he's just not as good at marketing."

"And he's just not as good at messaging as Donald Trump is. That's probably because Donald Trump was never a career politician. Donald Trump was a celebrity. So, Donald Trump knows how to, you know, keep the attention on himself," asserted the media personality. 

He further noted, "He knows how to take credit for things, even if he… probably shouldn't get sole credit because, you know, you gotta give Congress credit, but then the president does sign it into law. But that was just effective because he put money in people's pockets." 

"People will never forget when you put money in their pockets. That is what the candidates should be focusing on," concluded Charlamagne. 

Internet reacts to Charlamagne tha God claiming President Joe Biden has 'never been a good candidate'

People on the internet seemed divided over Charlamagne's assessment of Biden as the POTUS. 



 

One remarked, "they’re realizing it now, TRUMP 2024," and another noted, "He let Biden insult him & every Black voter. It only took him 3 LONG years to figure it out?"

A person pointed out, "Yet he still trounced Trump by over 7 million votes and it probably will be more if Trump makes it to the ballot."

Someone else asked, "Then why did he defeat Trump, by 7 million votes?"

"Suddenly their eyes are beginning to see very well now," opined an individual, while a user expressed, "Let’s be honest, both parties have presented horrible candidates the last 2 elections, and this one looks just as bad. We need to move on from Trump and Biden for the sake of the country."
