Biden Faces Pressure to Withdraw From Presidential Race
Calls Mount for President to Step Aside
At least three more House Democrats have called on President Joe Biden to withdraw from the presidential race Thursday after his first solo news conference. The President was asked if he would consider bowing out of the race, and he joked that only divine intervention could change his mind. However, his response has not stopped the calls for him to step aside.
Harris Seen as Potential Nominee
Political historians say that if Biden were to withdraw from the race, the most likely scenario is that Kamala Harris would secure the Democratic nomination. Harris is a popular and well-respected figure in the party, and she has the support of many key Democratic leaders.
The calls for Biden to withdraw have quieted in recent days, but it is unclear if this is a sign that the pressure has subsided or if it is simply a temporary lull. It is also unclear if Biden will reconsider his decision to run for president.
The situation is fluid, and it is possible that the calls for Biden to withdraw could intensify in the coming weeks or months. If Biden does not withdraw, it is likely that he will face a tough challenge from Harris in the Democratic primary.
