Democrats Urge Biden to Rethink Re-election Amid Concerns

Following a news conference where President Joe Biden stumbled over his words, a growing number of congressional Democrats are asking him to reconsider his re-election bid for 2024. Concerns about his age, low public approval ratings, and recent debate mishaps underscore the urgency of their pleas.

President Joe Biden faces increasing pressure from within his party to reconsider his re-election bid following a news conference marked by occasional gaffes.

Seventeen congressional Democrats have publicly stated their preference for a new candidate, worried that Biden's low approval ratings and age could jeopardize the party's hold on power.

Though Biden remains undeterred, promising to continue his campaign, some Democrats remain uneasy. Recent poll numbers depict a tight race between Biden and former President Donald Trump.
