Because of all this, Trent told Fox News, Democrats could indeed see Biden face a primary challenger – a rarity for an incumbent going back to when Sen. Edward Kennedy, D-Mass., filed to run against President Carter in the 1980 race.

The former Ocasio-Cortez staffer said he could indeed see a repeat of a 1992-style three-way race when billionaire businessman Ross Perot ran as an independent candidate and arguably played spoiler to incumbent President George H.W. Bush, helping Arkansas Gov. Bill Clinton win the White House.
“I don’t know what will happen, but we’re not connecting,” Trent said. “Right now the American people are divided in how they feel about the economy, divided about how we’re handling the COVID pandemic. … We have to do a better job uniting the country. For whatever reason, President Biden has not been able to do that to this point.”
“One of the problems is we’ve tried to align ourselves close with a Republican Party that has very little vision, very little agenda. 13 Republicans out of 212 voted for this bipartisan infrastructure package,” he added. “Roads, bridges, internet, If you can’t get behind it – what can you get behind?”
Still, some Democrats believe the possibility of Biden facing a primary challenger is far-fetched.
“There will not be a serious challenger to President Biden for the Democratic nomination – point-blank, period,” Jehmu Greene, former candidate for DNC chair, told “The Story.” “Anyone who says or speculates anything different, is, as we like to say here in Texas, is ‘all hat, no cattle.’”
