Democratic Debate Heats Up as Biden Faces Calls to Drop Out
Biden Holds News Conference After Week of Mounting Pressure
Some Democrats Point to Harris as Logical Successor
President Joe Biden held a news conference Thursday evening, the key event in a monumental week for his campaign as he fends off calls for him to drop out of the 2024 presidential race. Some Democrats have pointed to Vice President Kamala Harris as the logical choice to serve as President. Biden tested positive for Covid-19 on Wednesday while he was in Las Vegas for a series of events, the White House said.
WASHINGTON, D.C. – President Joe Biden spent more than a week in meetings and on phone calls addressing Democrats' concerns about his age and health. Biden is the oldest president in U.S. history, and some Democrats have questioned whether he is up to the demands of the job.
The president has repeatedly said that he intends to run for re-election in 2024. However, a growing number of Democrats are urging him to reconsider. A recent poll found that a majority of Democrats believe that Biden should not run for a second term.
The growing pressure on Biden comes as the Democratic Party is facing a number of challenges. The party lost control of the House of Representatives in the 2022 midterm elections, and it is facing an uphill battle to regain control of the Senate in 2024. Some Democrats believe that Biden is a liability to the party and that he will make it harder for them to win elections.
The Democratic National Committee (DNC) is scheduled to hold its first presidential primary debate in early 2024. It is unclear whether Biden will participate in the debate. If he does, he will likely face questions about his age, health, and his commitment to the Democratic Party.
The Democratic presidential race is still in its early stages, and it is too early to say who will win the party's nomination. However, the growing pressure on Biden is a sign that the party is taking a hard look at its future.
