Biden Increasingly Likely to Drop Out
President Biden may be reconsidering his 2024 re-election bid amid growing pressure from fellow Democrats and unfavorable polls. While the White House denies any change in plans, sources close to Biden indicate he's beginning to accept he might not win in November. Key party figures, including Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer, have privately expressed concerns about Biden's chances and the potential impact on down-ballot races. More Democrats are publicly calling for Biden to step aside, with some suggesting Vice President Kamala Harris as a potential replacement. Biden's team is reportedly grappling with polls showing weakness in battleground states and a loss of donor support. However, the president's close advisers and family remain supportive of his candidacy, emphasizing his history of defying odds.
