WASHINGTON (AP) – Leaders in the Democratic Party are putting extreme pressure on President Joe Biden to withdraw from the 2024 race. Former President Barack Obama has privately warned Biden that the party may not be able to take control of the House if he doesn’t withdraw by talking to allies.
Even smaller than it was before his disastrous debate performance, Biden’s orbit has shrunk in recent days. The president, isolated at home in Delaware fighting a COVID-19 illness, is depending on a few trusted advisors to help him decide whether to give in to the increasing pressure to withdraw.
