Poll numbers show that President Joe Biden is one of the most unpopular presidents in modern times and it appears that some members of his own party do not want him around them.

Arizona Democrat Sen. Mark Kelly spoke to CNN host Jake Tapper on Sunday on his “State of the Union” show and he did not sound like someone who wants the president campaigning for him.

“Would you want President Biden to come to Arizona and campaign with you?” the host said.
“Hey, I’ll welcome anybody to come to Arizona, travel around the state at any time, as long as I’m here. If I’m not up in Washington in session. And talk about what Arizona needs. This water situation is significant. And right now we have some of the tools necessary to deal with it. I’m trying to get some answers from the department of interior on more – like what authority do they have to make some decisions themselves on this because, as I said earlier, the other states are not stepping up to help Arizona deal with this. But if anybody wants to come to Arizona and talk about Arizona issues or issues that affect the country, I’ll be here,” the senator said.

“That’s not exactly an open invitation to President Biden to come and campaign with you, even though he won the state of Arizona in 2020, saying you’d welcome anybody. Do you have concerns about whether President Biden is the best candidate to keep Arizona blue in 2024?” the host said.

“Not at all, jake,” the senator said.
