President Joe Biden has reportedly become increasingly open to the idea of withdrawing from the 2024 presidential race, with multiple high-profile Democrats suggesting he could make a decision as soon as this weekend, according to various news outlets on Thursday. Sources close to the president told The New York Times that Biden is starting to acknowledge his diminishing chances of winning re-election and is considering stepping down. Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has been privately discussing with House Democrats that Biden might be persuaded to exit the race soon, The Washington Post reported. Despite his public insistence that he is not dropping out, some top Democrats told Axios that Biden understands that party leaders, friends, and donors believe he will lose in November and that they cannot change public opinion regarding his age and ability to govern.
Reports indicate that while no high-level Democrats have publicly stated that Biden is preparing to drop out, he has been “more receptive” to arguments about ending his re-election bid and has shown a willingness to consider unflattering polling data. According to CNN, Biden has inquired about Vice President Kamala Harris’ chances against Trump, reflecting a shift from skepticism to consideration of her potential candidacy. However, a person close to Biden emphasized that there is no definitive indication that he is planning to change course. Biden has faced direct pressure from top congressional Democrats, including Pelosi and Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, who have conveyed concerns about his ability to defeat Trump and the potential negative impact on Democrats’ chances of retaking the House. Additionally, former President Barack Obama has privately expressed doubts about Biden’s viability, despite his public support. An anonymous source within Biden’s campaign suggested that the team is now coming to terms with the likelihood of Biden stepping aside, as reported by NBC News.
