Democrats Urge Biden to Drop 2024 Run

A growing number of Democrats are urging President Joe Biden to withdraw from the 2024 presidential race, citing concerns about his age and recent debate performance. Notable figures including Reps. Betty McCollum, Kathy Castor, and Marc Veasey, as well as Sen. Martin Heinrich, have publicly called for Biden to 'pass the torch' to a new generation of leaders, with Vice President Kamala Harris being a prominent suggested replacement. A recent Associated Press poll indicates 65% of Democrats want Biden to step aside. Despite this mounting pressure, Biden's campaign has stated he intends to remain in the race. The calls for Biden to withdraw have been amplified by a super PAC named 'Pass the Torch,' which has launched ads advocating for his exit.
