According to The New York Times, four more House Democrats have urged Joe Biden to withdraw from the 2024 presidential race amid growing speculation about an open convention.
Damaging leaks to the media are on the rise as influential Democrats maneuver behind the scenes to push Biden out of the race. Notable figures such as Barack Obama, Chuck Schumer, and Hakeem Jeffries are expressing doubts about Biden’s viability.
Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries are reportedly working discreetly to undermine Biden’s campaign.
Mark Halperin reported on Thursday that Biden might announce his withdrawal from the 2024 race as early as Sunday.
According to Halperin, Biden is not expected to endorse Vice President Kamala Harris and will not resign from the presidency. He suggested there will be an open convention featuring Harris and about three other candidates, with potential running mates for Harris including Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear and Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro.
Halperin’s report indicates Biden’s political future looks grim.
The last public appearance Biden made showed him struggling to get into his presidential motorcade.
