Recent reports reveal that former President Barack Obama and Speaker Emerita Nancy Pelosi have expressed concerns about President Joe Biden’s reelection campaign. Pelosi has shown Biden polling suggesting he may not be able to defeat Donald Trump. Obama, while not directly addressing Biden, has advised allies to consider the viability of the campaign.
Despite pressure to reconsider, Biden remains adamant about staying in the race, supported by data indicating potential losses for Democrats in Congress. Influential Democrats like Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries have privately discussed concerns with Biden, while calls for him to step aside have been made by Rep. Adam Schiff.
With Biden testing positive for COVID-19, calls for a reassessment have intensified. While some Democrats urge Biden to continue, a significant number believe he should withdraw. Biden has shown no signs of wavering, emphasizing his determination to defeat Trump once again.
The coming days will be crucial in determining Biden’s next steps, with pressure mounting from various Democratic factions. As debates over Biden’s candidacy continue, Democrats remain divided on the best course of action.
