Joe Biden's re-election campaign is facing a major crisis as prominent Democrats, including actor George Clooney and Democratic Senator Peter Welch, are calling on him to step aside. Concerns over Biden's age and fitness have led Clooney and others to believe that he will lose to Trump if he remains the candidate, potentially resulting in Democrats losing control of the House and Senate.
Despite dismissing these calls, Biden's re-election prospects have dimmed recently amidst concerns over the economy and his performance. The debate over Biden's mental and physical health is gaining momentum, with a Democratic senator publicly demanding his withdrawal from the race.
Hollywood star George Clooney has also spoken out in favor of Biden's withdrawal. Biden, however, remains determined to stay in the race for the White House.
The Democratic party is attempting to stifle the debate about Biden's suitability for the presidency before it turns into an open rebellion. Senator Peter Welch from Vermont publicly called on President Biden to withdraw from his candidacy, stating that the public debate is not focusing on Trump's extremist agenda, but rather on Biden's age and abilities.
Welch believes that Biden has been one of the greatest presidents of our time, but he is not the best candidate to prevent another term of Trump. The pressure on Biden from both Democrats and Republicans is increasing, with more lawmakers and donors expressing doubts about his candidacy.
Biden's appearance in a press conference turned cognitive capacity test is seen as a gamble by many, as he faces growing political and media pressure to withdraw from running. Nancy Pelosi, one of the most powerful figures in the Democratic Party, failed to clearly commit to Biden in a TV interview, stating that it is up to Biden whether he runs.
Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer has privately signaled concerns about Biden's mental acuity and ability to win re-election, leading to speculation that he is open to replacing Biden as the Democratic nominee for the 2024 election.
Despite the calls for withdrawal, Biden remains determined to continue his campaign for the presidency, citing his belief that he is the best candidate to defeat Trump.
