Biden Faces Pressure to Bow Out of 2024 Race
Sources Say Close Advisors Pushing for Exit
Several individuals close to President Biden have reportedly urged him to step aside from the 2024 presidential race, citing concerns about his age and approval ratings. The pressure has apparently intensified in recent months, as the president has faced setbacks in his legislative agenda and seen his party lose ground in the polls.
Congressional Democrats Join the Chorus
The effort to persuade Biden to withdraw is not limited to close advisors. Twenty House Democrats have publicly expressed their concerns about the president's reelection prospects. They have cited his low approval ratings and the need for the party to field a more competitive candidate in 2024.
Biden Resists Calls to Step Aside
Despite the growing pressure, Biden has so far resisted calls to withdraw from the race. A day after meeting with his top donors and fundraisers, he reaffirmed his intention to seek reelection. However, sources close to the president acknowledge that the pressure is mounting and that he may ultimately decide to step aside.
