Biden Faces Donor Freeze, Calls to Withdraw

President Joe Biden is facing increasing pressure from within his own party to step down from the 2024 presidential race due to concerns about his age and cognitive abilities. High-profile Democrats, including Bernie Sanders and George Clooney, have voiced their worries, with Clooney suggesting a new nominee is needed. Hollywood's elite, crucial for Democratic fundraising and youth voter turnout, are reportedly disillusioned and withdrawing support. Biden's gaffes, such as mistaking names and confusing key political figures, have exacerbated these concerns. Despite some achievements, like leading a NATO summit and securing a ceasefire in Gaza, the consensus among many Democrats is that Biden should consider a valedictory exit.
