Democrats Contemplate Replacing Biden as Candidate

Despite internal discussions among some senior members of Congress about President Biden potentially stepping aside as the Democratic nominee for the 2024 presidential race, no members of the Congressional Black Caucus have publicly called for his resignation. Prominent figures like Congresswoman Maxine Waters and Virginia State Senator L. Louise Lucas have expressed strong support for Biden, emphasizing the importance of unity within the Democratic Party. Meanwhile, Biden's political crisis has prompted discussion among potential Democratic contenders like California Governor Gavin Newsom, Illinois Governor JB Pritzker, Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer, and Vice President Kamala Harris about future presidential bids. Although concerns about Biden's candidacy persist, with some Democrats voicing opposition, he remains firm in his decision to stay in the race, while his surrogates navigate the delicate balance of supporting him and positioning themselves for potential future runs.
