Sen. Mark Kelly (D) avoids ruling on whether he wants Biden's endorsement, says he's not worried about whether he's a candidate in 2024
The current president's falling popularity in the polls reflects bewilderment among Democrats over whether he is the best candidate to govern the country.

Incumbent Arizona Senator Mark Kelly reviewed the current events on CNN and talked about Joe Biden and the president's support for him.
During an interview Sunday on State of the Union, Kelly said he is "not worried at all" if Biden is a candidate again for the 2024 election, and he omitted to answer whether he needs the president's support to keep the Arizona Democratic Senate seat.
Would you like President Biden to come to Arizona to campaign for you, asked host Jake Tapper. To this question, the Democratic senator responds, "I’ll welcome anybody to come to Arizona, travel around the state at any time." He also added, "if anybody wants to come to Arizona and talk about Arizona issues or issues that affect the country, I’ll be here."
Biden's unpopularity
Thus, the Democratic candidate avoided answering the question of whether he wanted Joe Biden’s support. The latest polls show Joe Biden's loss of prestige and empathy among the population and among Democratic voters -less than 50% believe he should seek re-election in 2024-.
The administration's handling of issues such as covid or the economy makes him one of the most unpopular presidents in recent times.
Arizona water crisis
Regarding the cutbacks in the Colorado River water supply, Kelly stated that the crisis "is not existential" and that they are working together to solve the problem.
