Calls for Biden to Reconsider Candidacy Grow
Nancy Pelosi, the congresswoman and former speaker of the House, made a significant public statement indicating a division among Democrats regarding President Biden’s candidacy. On a news show, she emphasized that “time is running short” for Biden to reconsider, expressing her support for whatever decision he makes.
The pressure on President Biden to step aside heightened as concerns were raised that he might lose to Donald Trump in the upcoming election. Representative Pat Ryan of New York, one of the vulnerable Democratic incumbents, publicly called on Biden to drop out “for the good of the country,” becoming the eighth House Democrat to do so.
George Clooney, who recently hosted a $28 million fund-raiser for the president, also urged Biden to consider stepping aside in an opinion essay published in The New York Times, citing Biden’s observed decline.
Despite facing doubts and criticism, Biden has attempted to address his detractors by condemning the Democratic “elites” who he claims have turned against him. With the Democratic National Convention approaching next month in Chicago, Biden may be aiming to hold on until his formal nomination.
