Obama and Democrats Question Biden’s Re-Election Chances
Former President Barack Obama has recently shared his doubts about President Joe Biden’s chances of winning re-election. Obama’s concerns are part of a growing trend among Democratic leaders who are questioning whether Biden can succeed against Republican challenger Donald Trump in the November 5 election.
Obama has told his supporters that Biden’s chance of winning seems to be shrinking. Polls show Trump gaining ground, which is causing worry within the Democratic Party. Obama’s concerns are supported by several other Democratic figures who are urging Biden to think about stepping down.
Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has privately told Biden that she is not optimistic about his chances to beat Trump. About 20 prominent Democrats have also suggested that Biden should withdraw from the race. Adam Schiff, a senior House Democrat running for Senate, has publicly stated that Biden should consider ending his campaign. Schiff believes that if Biden stays as the nominee, it could hurt the Democratic Party’s chances not only for the White House but also in other elections.
House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries and Senate Majority Leader Charles E. Schumer have also shared their worries directly with Biden. They are concerned that his candidacy might negatively impact the Democratic Party’s overall chances in the upcoming elections.
Actor George Clooney has added his voice to the debate by writing an op-ed urging Biden to leave the race. This growing dissatisfaction within the Democratic Party highlights a significant shift in opinion.
Meanwhile, Biden has announced that he tested positive for COVID-19 and is isolating in Rehoboth Beach, Delaware. Despite the increasing pressure and criticism, Biden’s campaign team remains committed to his run for re-election. Quentin Fulks, Biden’s deputy campaign manager, affirmed that Biden is determined to continue his campaign, and the team is moving forward as planned.
As the election approaches, these internal debates within the Democratic Party will be important in shaping the future of the 2024 presidential race.
