Biden's Re-election Campaign Under Scrutiny
Pressure Mounts for Biden to End Campaign
Uncertainty Surrounds Potential Replacement
President Joe Biden is facing increasing pressure from within his own party to withdraw from the 2024 presidential race or reconsider his decision to seek re-election. Democratic strategists and allies have expressed concerns about Biden's age and public approval ratings, which have consistently remained low. Despite weeks of public statements that he intends to run, sources say Biden has not yet made a final decision.
If Biden were to drop out of the race, it is unclear who would take his place. Vice President Kamala Harris is considered a potential successor, but she has also faced criticism for her handling of the border and other issues. A group of younger Democrats, including Governor Gavin Newsom of California, are also being mentioned as possible candidates.
Biden and Harris share a joint campaign committee that raised $270 million in the second quarter of this year. If she remains on the ticket as either the presidential or vice presidential candidate, it is likely to have a significant impact on the campaign dynamics.
