In a recent CNN interview, Democratic Senator Michael Bennet from Colorado on Tuesday said that President Joe Biden may struggle to secure victory against former President Donald Trump in the upcoming November 2024 elections. But he did not say outrightly ‘Joe Biden should step aside’ rather saying it was something for the president to think about or contemplate over.”
“Donald Trump is projected to win this election and maybe win it by a landslide and therefore take away with him the Senate as well as the House,” he added.
The party has in fact been divided on whether to support Joe Biden’s re-election bid, which has been plagued by lingering concerns about his health and mental sharpness, or encourage him to resign.
No Democratic senator had previously asked this of such Democartic members of Congress according to before Republucan members who have recommended telling Biden not to run again for presidency were seven. However, Biden himself has always stated that he will not leave his ambitions.
Biden’s weak showing during June’s debate with Trump, combined with his poor polling numbers among the general public, have raised questions within some quarters of his party about whether he can defeat Donald Trump in November 5th election and handle the duties associated with the highest office in America over another four and half years. A lot of people from within their party are afraid that Biden never assured voters enough that his performance at that debate was something exceptional but not a reflection of what he is really capable of doing.
During a conversation today following a Senate Democrats meeting on the president’s campaign., Democratic Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer simply said “I’m with Joe” when asked about Biden’s competence.
Some Democrats are complaining that instead there ought to be unity against other Republicans; however, they keep addressing only his weaknesses.
On Tuesday, behind closed doors several Dems in Congress have worried about voting out Donald Trump by Joe Biden come November 5th although no plans were made during yesterday’s secret meetings. If Trump wins the White House and his party gets majorities in both houses of Congress, he will face little resistance to implementing substantial shifts in policy.
Already Democrats are faced with an uphill task of protecting their slim 51-49 Senate majority since they have several seats at stake in pro republican states while Republicans hold a 220-213 advantage in the House.
Top Democratic leaders in the Senate and House, namely Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries did not give much about what transpired behind closed doors for some hours when members had met covertly to discuss how democrats can stop Joe Biden from continuing his race even if they all agreed on one plan.
