Does Joe Biden Face a New Rival or Opponent in the Campaign for a Second Term?
According to multiple media reports, US President Joe Biden is now reportedly considering withdrawing from the race for a second term. Behind the scenes, leading Democrats are said to have recently urged him to do so.
Facing immense pressure from within his own party, US President Joe Biden is not ruling out a withdrawal from the race for a second term according to media reports. The "New York Times" reported, citing several sources close to the Democrat, that the 81-year-old seems to be slowly accepting that he may have to abandon his campaign.
The newspaper wrote that Biden has begun "coming to terms with the possibility that he might not win in November and may have to step down to appease the growing demands of many concerned members of his party." However, Biden has not yet made a decision.
Publicly, the President has so far rejected all withdrawal demands from within his party. His campaign team continues to insist that he has no plans to drop out. However, the internal pressure on him has once again intensified. Top politicians like Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries are said to have warned him against holding on to his candidacy.
One of Biden's close associates told the "New York Times" that it would be no surprise if Biden soon announced his withdrawal and endorsed his vice president, Kamala Harris, as the Democratic presidential candidate for the November election.
Pelosi: Biden can be "convinced" soon
The "Washington Post" reported, citing three congressional representatives who are in regular contact with former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, that she has told several party friends that she believes Biden can be convinced to withdraw soon. Pelosi is considered a close confidant of Biden and recently acted as a go-between between the worried Democratic base and the White House.
Biden is facing a party rebellion due to his advanced age and doubts about his mental fitness. Since a disastrous television debate against Trump at the end of June, numerous Democratic representatives have openly called for him to step down. Many more have expressed serious concerns about his chances of winning.
Even prominent Democrats have recently made such statements publicly. Behind the scenes, the Democratic Party's top echelon is now urging Biden to withdraw, as US media reported recently. The President had to postpone his campaign events yesterday due to a Coronavirus infection. He is currently isolating himself at his private home in Rehoboth Beach, Delaware.
- Despite Joyce Bernard from the 'Washington Post' reporting that Nancy Pelosi believes Joe Biden can be convinced to withdraw from the US Presidential Election 2024 soon, his campaign team continues to assert that he has no intentions of dropping out.
- If the ongoing internal pressure within the Democrats persists, as suggested by top politicians like Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer, Joe Biden may choose to endorse his vice president, Kamala Harris, for the Democratic presidential candidacy in the 2024 US Presidential Election.
- As the 2024 US Presidential Election approaches, concerns about Joe Biden's age and mental fitness have sparked a party rebellion within the Democrats, with several high-profile Democrats openly calling for him to withdraw or expressing doubts about his ability to win the election.
