House Democrats want Biden to resign but won’t commit to supporting him in the next election.

In a surprising turn of events, some House Democrats are urging President Biden to step aside from the 2024 race due to concerns about his ability to defeat former President Trump in the upcoming November election. Despite the public calls for him to bow out, many Democratic lawmakers have remained silent on whether they would still support Biden if he chooses to stay in the race.

The 81-year-old leader’s recent debate performance has fueled doubts among his own party members about his capacity to secure a victory against Trump. Representatives Mike Quigley, Seth Moulton, Lloyd Doggett, Angie Craig, and Raul Grijalva have all publicly called for Biden to reconsider his candidacy.

President Biden and his campaign team have reiterated that he intends to remain in the race and is the most qualified candidate to prevent Trump from serving a second term. However, even some of his allies are beginning to question whether he possesses the stamina and mental acuity necessary to lead in a potential second term or sustain a competitive campaign until November.

Furthermore, there are concerns that Biden’s candidacy could potentially have a negative impact on other leftist candidates running for House and Senate seats. The pressure on Biden has continued to escalate, with Rep. Adam Smith joining the ranks of Democrats urging him to step aside during a recent CNN interview.

Despite the growing calls for Biden to bow out, the window for Democrats to choose a new candidate is closing rapidly, and the likelihood of selecting a replacement candidate after the Democratic National Convention in August is slim. In a letter addressed to congressional Democrats, Biden emphasized his commitment to staying in the race, asserting that their primary objective should be defeating Donald Trump.

Amidst the escalating tensions within the Democratic party, some lawmakers have expressed support for Biden as the nominee while others have chosen to remain tight-lipped on the matter. Rep. Pramila Jayapal hinted at her allegiance to Biden by emphasizing the importance of keeping concerns about his candidacy within closed doors.

While some lawmakers have publicly defended Biden and redirected blame towards Trump, others like Rep. Joe Morelle have acknowledged the need for improvements in Biden’s performance. President Biden himself has stood firm in his decision to stay in the race, dismissing concerns about his cognitive abilities in the wake of the debate.

As the Democratic party navigates through these turbulent waters, the question of Biden’s viability as a candidate continues to linger. With the 2024 election drawing near, it remains to be seen how President Biden and his Democratic colleagues will navigate the challenges ahead.
