Jeff Weaver, former presidential campaign manager for Sen. Bernie Sanders, speaking with Politico, declared: "Will there be a progressive challenger? Yes."
While Weaver announced that he is not advocating for a primary campaign against Biden, talks regarding such a primary challenge have increased in recent weeks since the end of Biden's Build Back Better Act in Congress.
"He's deeply unpopular. He's old as sh*t. He's largely been ineffective unless we're counting judges or whatever the hell inside-baseball scorecard we're using. And I think he'll probably get demolished in the midterms," declared Corbin Trent, co-founder of the No Excuses PAC and former communications director for Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY). "People will smell opportunity, and DC is filled with people who want to be president."

According to Politico, there are no serious prospects of primary campaign runners amongst those now in office, or those that had taken beforehand on Biden in the last election, like Sanders or Sen. Elizabeth Warren.

Instead, a challenger would come from lesser-known candidates, like former Sanders campaign co-chair Nina Turner or 2020 presidential candidate Marianne Williamson.

"Yes, but someone like Nina Turner or Marianne Williamson. Doubt anyone currently elected," one prominent Progressive told Politico when asked the possibility of someone running against Biden.
"Weaver argued that a liberal challenge wouldn't be a 'repudiation' of Biden but rather the result of the Democratic Party moving left: 'Progressives are ultimately ascendant. And if nothing else, a progressive running who gets a lot of support will demonstrate that the ideas that the progressive movement embraces are, in fact, popular,'" Politico wrote.

Anxiety has grown though that a Progressive challenger would tire Democrat's standings, possibly pointing to a weakened state of the Left.
"I think it's pretty unlikely that a serious progressive challenger would emerge if Biden stays in the race," Max Berger, former director of progressive outreach for Warren's 2020 presidential campaign, explained to Politico. "It would go so against the sensibilities of rank-and-file Democrats that I don't think it would necessarily be a great service to the progressive cause to have our ideas seem so marginal."

Berger continued that, while it would look bad for Biden if another challenger got 20 percent of the vote in the Democratic primary, "the flip side of the 80-20 thing is I don't want us getting 20 percent."
