Jordan Peterson, a Canadian psychologist, author, and media commentator, critiqued President Joe Biden, suggesting that Biden should brace for defeat against Donald Trump in the forthcoming 2024 election.
Trump’s Dominant Iowa Win
In the Iowa primaries, Trump emerged as the undisputed victor, winning nearly all counties and surpassing his nearest rival by about 30 points.
DeSantis and Haley’s Poll Numbers
Florida’s Governor Ron DeSantis trailed with 21%, while former UN Ambassador Nikki Haley followed closely at 19%.
New Hampshire’s Upcoming Primary
The focus shifts to New Hampshire, which is hosting its primary on January 23. The competition is anticipated to be fiercer, with predictions of Trump not replicating his sweeping victory from Iowa.
Tough Competition
In New Hampshire, polls are suggesting a tough competition between Haley and Trump.
Trump and Haley Tied
The survey from American Research Group Inc., released Tuesday, puts Trump and Haley at 40% each among the state’s likely Republican primary voters. In December, Trump was at 33%, while Haley scored 29%.
Governor Endorses Haley
New Hampshire’s Governor, Chris Sununu, has endorsed Haley. In a December message, he said, “This is an opportunity for New Hampshire to lead this country, for New Hampshire to say we’re not looking in the rearview mirror anymore.”
Peterson’s Controversial Stance
Peterson, known for his polarizing views on various social issues, such as labeling white privilege as a “Marxist lie” and claiming that gender identity is subjective, has shown support for Trump’s election success in the past.
Discontent with U.S. Politics
He now expressed his discontent with U.S. politics on x (formerly Twitter), targeting President Biden.
Peterson’s Post
Peterson posted, “You @TheDemocrats did everything to keep @realDonaldTrump in the race, thinking you could defeat him. He’s back, with a vengeance. It’s on you @JoeBiden and your blind equity-minions. Welcome to 2024. Strap in and pray.”
Mixed Reactions Online
Online responses to Peterson’s post were divided. Some echoed his support for Trump, criticizing Biden’s performance and policies. Others expressed skepticism about Trump’s chances in the 2024 election, citing his divisiveness and electoral challenges.
Biden’s Remarks on Iowa Election
Peterson’s post was in reaction to Biden’s tweet stating, “Looks like Donald Trump just won Iowa. He’s the clear front runner. But this election was always going to be you and me vs. extreme MAGA Republicans. It was true yesterday and it’ll be true tomorrow.”
VP Harris on 2024 Election Prospects
Vice President Kamala Harris, in a Wednesday interview on ABC News also expressed her apprehensions regarding the possibility of Donald Trump securing the presidency in the 2024 elections.
“I am Scared as Heck”
In response to a question about whether Harris is concerned about the possibility of Trump winning the election, she replied, “I am scared as heck.”
“We Should All Be Scared.”
Harris added, “There is an old saying that there are only two ways to run for office, either without an opponent or scared. So on all of those points, yes, we should all be scared.”
Peterson on Talk TV
During his appearance on Piers Morgan’s Talk TV on January 8, Peterson predicted that Trump would emerge victorious over Biden in the 2024 presidential election.
Unjust Vilification of Trump
Peterson further asserted that no political figure had been as extensively and unjustly “vilified” as the former president.
The Likely Next President
He stated, “I think the most likely outcome is that Trump is the next president,” citing the divisiveness as a concerning factor.
