Biden Considers Exit from 2024 Presidential Race

In a surprising turn of events, President Joe Biden is reportedly considering withdrawing from the 2024 presidential race, according to a recent article from Breitbart News. This potential shift in the political landscape comes amid mounting concerns about his age and health, as well as growing dissatisfaction within his party.

President Biden, who would be 82 at the start of a second term, is facing increasing pressure from within the Democratic Party to step aside. The party’s leadership is apprehensive about his ability to effectively campaign and govern, given his advancing age and recent gaffes that have fueled concerns about his cognitive abilities.

The Times reports:

‘President Biden has told a key ally that he knows he may not be able to salvage his candidacy if he cannot convince the public in the coming days that he is up for the job after a disastrous debate performance last week.

The president, who the ally emphasized is still deeply in the fight for re-election, understands that his next few appearances heading into the holiday weekend — including an interview scheduled for Friday with George Stephanopoulos of ABC News and campaign stops in Pennsylvania and Wisconsin — must go well.

….

Mr. Biden is slowly reaching out to Democratic elected officials and has a meeting with Democratic governors at the White House scheduled for Wednesday evening. He is also continuing to reach out to people he has long trusted and has told at least one person that he is open to the possibility that his plans to move on from his debate performance — and flip the focus back to his challenger, Mr. Trump — may not work.’

A significant factor in these deliberations is the fear that Biden’s continued presence in the race could jeopardize the Democrats’ chances in the upcoming election. The party is keenly aware of the challenges posed by a potential rematch with former President Donald Trump or another strong Republican contender. As the article notes, some senior Democrats are advocating for a new face to lead the party, someone who can energize the base and appeal to a broader electorate.

Biden’s health has been a persistent topic of discussion. His recent physical exams have been closely scrutinized, and any missteps are quickly amplified in the media. The president’s occasional verbal slips and moments of apparent confusion have only added fuel to the fire. While Biden and his team have consistently downplayed these concerns, suggesting they are overstated by political opponents, the reality is that health and age are unavoidable factors in the rigorous demands of the presidency.

Within the Democratic Party, there is a palpable sense of urgency. The article highlights that some Democrats believe a younger, more dynamic candidate could better address the critical issues facing the nation and counteract the vigorous campaigns expected from Republican opponents. Names such as Vice President Kamala Harris, California Governor Gavin Newsom, and Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg have been floated as potential alternatives.

MSNBC just reported that Hunter Biden, who is a drug addict and a convicted felon, has been sitting in on Joe Biden’s meetings in the White House since the debate last week.

In other words, Hunter Biden is now making decisions that impact our country.

Biden’s potential withdrawal underscores the inherent weaknesses in the current administration. Critics have long argued that Biden’s presidency has been marked by indecision and a lack of clear direction. The push from within his own party to find a replacement can be seen as an admission of these failings.

Biden’s policies have been detrimental to the nation’s economic stability and international standing. The president’s handling of the economy, particularly inflation and rising gas prices, has been a focal point of criticism. The decision to tap into the Strategic Petroleum Reserve, for instance, was seen by many as a short-term fix rather than a sustainable solution.

On the international front, Biden’s withdrawal from Afghanistan is frequently cited as a major blunder, leaving a vacuum that has emboldened adversaries. Conservatives argue that a change in leadership within the Democratic Party will do little to address these fundamental issues, as the policies and ideologies driving them remain unchanged.
