Biden Faces Division Over 2024 Candidacy

Democratic lawmakers remain deeply divided over President Joe Biden's 2024 candidacy following his poor debate performance and ongoing concerns about his age and electability. Despite some top Democrats, like Jerry Nadler and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, expressing support for Biden, others, including Rep. Steve Cohen and Rep. Susie Lee, voiced significant doubts. Meetings held on Tuesday were described as somber, with one attendee likening it to a funeral. Biden's insistence on staying in the race has garnered mixed reactions, leading to a lack of consensus within the party. While some members push for unity behind Biden, others believe that continuing with him as the nominee could be detrimental to their chances in the upcoming election.
