Biden would quit if polls showed no chance of winning, says only God could change his mind.
President Biden has made a significant statement, declaring that he would be willing to leave the 2024 race for the White House if polls indicated there was “no way” he could win. This comes just a week after his comments suggesting that only the “Lord Almighty” could convince him to drop out.
Amid growing concerns about his physical and mental abilities, the 81-year-old president faced questions from reporters during an hour-long press conference following the NATO summit in Washington, D.C. While the summit was a crucial event, the focus quickly shifted to Biden’s potential re-election.
One reporter questioned whether Biden would consider stepping aside if his own team presented data showing Vice President Kamala Harris had a better chance against former President Trump. Biden responded firmly, stating, “No,” and emphasizing that he believes he is still a viable candidate in the race.
Despite his recent remarks, a new poll released by NPR/PBS NewsHour/Marist shows Biden leading Trump by two points in a head-to-head matchup. However, when considering third-party options, Trump emerges one point ahead of Biden. These results highlight the close nature of the race and the uncertainty surrounding the outcome.
Following his press conference performance, Biden received mixed reactions from supporters and critics. Some praised his clear articulation of foreign policy matters, while others expressed doubts about his ability to continue in the race. Several House Democrats have called on Biden to step aside, with a growing number of lawmakers joining the chorus.
As of now, 20 Congressional Democrats have publicly urged Biden to reconsider his re-election bid, signaling a significant shift in the party’s support. The pressure on Biden to make a decision about his political future continues to mount, as the 2024 race heats up with each passing day.
