Former North Carolina Gov. Pat McCrory (R) argued Sunday that voters in both parties were “running away” from President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump and instead wanted other 2024 choices.
McCrory, who recently joined NBC News after losing his state’s GOP Senate primary to Rep. Ted Budd (R-NC), appeared on the network’s Meet the Press for a panel discussion on the 2024 presidential election. McCrory said that in his view, voters were unhappy with both the Democrat and Republican presidential incumbents, and that
“Democrats don’t want Biden or [Vice President Kamala] Harris either, and Republicans frankly don’t want Trump,” the former governor said. “And they’re the ones trying to consume the TV time.”
ONLY ONE-THIRD OF REGISTERED VOTERS WOULD RE-ELECT BIDEN: POLL
A Republican himself, McCrory argued that there are other GOP candidates that would actually be able to defeat Biden, which Trump was unable to in 2020.
“There are about 20 Republican candidates for the presidency that are running right now who really believe this too, and they can’t say it, because they don’t want to upset the core 30% who are with Trump regardless,” McCrory said.
“And, by the way, the Democrats are running away from Biden in this election too. They do not want- the Democrats don’t want Biden on the stage,” McCrory said.

McCrory’s analysis comes the same day that a Fox News poll revealed only a third of registered voters are considering re-electing Biden. The 46th president also appeared to have lost independent voters, with 54% opting to vote for another candidate. Only 13% said they were set on a second term for the president.
