Biden’s Recent Fall Has Some Progressives Calling for a Contested Democratic Primary

Joe Biden’s most recent fall looked like a pretty serious situation, and despite efforts by the media to spin it as nothing, people on the left are clearly nervous about it.

Some are even calling for opening up the Democrat nomination to primary challenges.

The Daily Caller reports:

‘This Isn’t Fair To Anyone’: Liberals Respond To Biden’s Tumble, Call For Contested Democratic PrimaryLiberals are renewing their calls for a fair and contested Democratic presidential primary Thursday after President Joe Biden fell on stage during the U.S. Air Force Academy’s graduation ceremony.Widely shared video footage showed Biden walking on stage in a suit and baseball cap when he fell to the ground and required assistance to get back up.The president was helped to his feet by three people and the White House later attributed his tumble to a sandbag on stage. His latest fall renewed concerns about his age and sparked calls from liberals for the Democratic primary to be an open process.“[S]ome top Democrats have privately been saying for months that they’re nervous about Biden tripping again on the trail.

Just two days before Biden’s fall, Dawson’s Creek actor James Van Der Beek was criticizing the DNC for not having a primary debate.

FOX News reported:

Actor James Van Der Beek bashes DNC for refusing to hold Biden debate: ‘How is this a democracy?’Actor James Van Der Beek blasted the Democratic National Committee for planning on foregoing primary debates between President Joe Biden and other presidential contenders for 2024.”I mean, what the hell? How is this a democracy?” Van Der Beek said in a viral TikTok filmed on Memorial Day with over 49,500 likes.”I cannot get over the fact that the Democratic National Committee is saying there will not be a debate to decide the nominee for president. Are you f—ing kidding me? There’s no debate?” Van Der Beek said.”There’s no debate over an 80-year-old man who, if he lives, will be the oldest sitting president in the history of the country? And if he doesn’t live, has a vice president whose approval rating is worse than his?” he added, taking a shot at Vice President Kamala Harris.

Here’s the video:

Democrats have spent the last five years portraying themselves as the nation’s defenders of democracy.

Shouldn’t they want a contested primary?
