Biden Faces Calls To Drop Out of Race
Pressure Mounts as Lawmakers Weigh In
President Biden is facing mounting pressure to drop out of the 2024 race, with more Democratic lawmakers expected to publicly call on him to do so.
The push comes after a series of setbacks for Biden, including a poor performance in the recent Democratic debate and the defection of several key supporters.
One person familiar with Biden's thinking said that he had not yet made up his mind about whether to leave the race, but that he was increasingly pessimistic about his chances of winning.
"It's a grueling campaign schedule," the source said. "He's not sure he can keep up."
Biden has said that he has no intention of stepping back from his bid for a second term, but the pressure on him is growing.
His reelection team has been working frantically to undo the damage caused by the debate debacle and quell the calls for him to withdraw.
But it remains to be seen whether their efforts will be enough to save Biden's campaign.
