US President Joe Biden is anticipated to make a significant announcement regarding his bid for reelection. According to media reports, a number of prominent Democratic figures have suggested that Biden withdraw from the race in light of his appalling debate performance, his poor health, his unsuccessful attempt to assassinate rival Donald Trump, and his declining polling numbers.
According to The New York Times, “a number of individuals close to President Biden stated on Thursday that they think he has started to embrace the notion that he might not be able to win in November and might have to withdraw from the race, caving in to the mounting demands of numerous nervous members of his party.”
After testing positive for COVID-19, Biden, 81, is being kept in seclusion at his Delaware home for a while. According to media reports, he has been asked to withdraw from the presidential race by prominent Democratic figures, such as former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, and former President Barack Obama. If he continues in the race, the party faces the possibility of losing control of the Senate, the House of Representatives, and the White House.
“On Thursday, individuals close to prominent Democrats said that it seemed to be a question of when, rather than if, Biden will withdraw from the presidential contest. According to persons familiar with the discussions, former President Barack Obama informed friends who phoned him in the last day or two that Biden’s route to victory is limited, according to the NYT story.
Pelosi has intensified her efforts to get the president to withdraw from the campaign, according to a Thursday night Washington Post story. Obama has acknowledged that his chances of winning the race are quite slim.
Vice President Kamala Harris has reportedly begun considering choices for her running companion, according to The Hill. Senator Mark Kelly, Governor Andy Beshear of Kentucky, and Governor Roy Cooper of North Carolina are the three that are currently being discussed.
According to the majority of media sources, Biden may declare his candidacy for reelection after the completion of the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee.
After announcing three weeks ago that almost nothing would force him out of the race, one of his close associates issued a warning, stating that the president had not yet decided to withdraw. However, another said that “reality is setting in” and that it wouldn’t be shocking if Mr. Biden announced shortly that he would support Vice President Kamala Harris to succeed him, according to The New York Times.
