Recent reports indicate that President Joe Biden is seriously contemplating stepping down as the Democratic presidential candidate, with some sources suggesting a decision could be made within the next 48 hours. This development comes amid increasing pressure from prominent Democratic figures and concerns regarding his age and performance in the upcoming elections.
Biden’s Current Situation
Biden, who is currently isolating due to a COVID-19 infection, has been described as undergoing a period of “soul searching.” Insiders report that he is seriously considering calls from within his party to step aside, particularly after a lackluster debate performance against former President Donald Trump, which has raised doubts about his viability as a candidate in the November elections. Notably, Democratic officials, including former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, have reportedly expressed concerns about Biden’s ability to secure a win against Trump, with some suggesting that his candidacy could jeopardize the party’s chances in the House of Representatives.
Pressure from Party Leaders
The pressure on Biden has intensified, with notable figures like California Representative Adam Schiff publicly stating that it may be time for Biden to “pass the torch.” Furthermore, former President Barack Obama has also reportedly voiced concerns about Biden’s diminishing path to victory, indicating that he believes the president needs to reconsider his candidacy seriously.
Delegate Sentiment
Despite Biden’s strong support among pledged delegates, there is a growing sense of pessimism regarding his candidacy. Many delegates are beginning to express doubts about the party’s chances if he remains at the top of the ticket, particularly as his polling numbers continue to lag.
