Biden may announce re-election withdrawal this weekend
President Joe Biden could announce his withdrawal from the 2024 race as early as this weekend, news website Axios reports.
Citing anonymous top Democrats, the report suggests growing pressures, including from party leaders and close allies, may push him to step down.
Biden’s debate performance against Donald Trump in June, coupled with his current polling deficit and advanced age, has heightened concerns about his re-election prospects.
He would be 86 by the end of a second term.
Despite not publicly committing to end his campaign, Biden faces increasing calls from senior Democrats and donors.
Representative Adam Schiff has publicly urged Biden to step aside, arguing it would protect his legacy and boost the party’s chances against Trump.
A recent poll shows significant support among Democrats for Vice President Kamala Harris as a potential replacement.
