Clintons Supportive of Biden’s Decision to Stay in the Race, Encouraging Donors to Stand by Him
The political landscape is heating up as Democrats weigh in on President Biden’s decision to stay in the race for re-election amidst growing concerns about his mental acuity and electability. Former President Bill Clinton and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton have quietly thrown their support behind Biden, urging donors to stand by him in his bid for a second term.
On the other side, Rep. Mark Takano of California has called on Biden to step aside and pass the torch to Vice President Kamala Harris, echoing sentiments shared by other top Democrats. Senator Elizabeth Warren also acknowledged the weight of Biden’s decision, emphasizing that he must make a choice that will benefit the party and the nation.
Meanwhile, Republican VP candidate Sen. JD Vance has gone a step further, calling on President Biden to resign from office rather than continue his re-election campaign. The political pressure is mounting from all sides as the 2024 election season kicks into high gear.
As all eyes are on Biden, Vice President Kamala Harris is maintaining a busy schedule, traveling to Massachusetts for a campaign fundraiser and expressing confidence in Democrats’ chances to win in November. The Biden campaign is facing fundraising challenges, with projections showing a significant decrease in big-donor money expected to be raised.
In the midst of this political turmoil, former President Donald Trump and his running mate, Sen. JD Vance, are set to hold their first joint rally in Michigan, a key swing state. Michigan played a pivotal role in the 2020 election, and both parties are gearing up for a fierce battle to win over voters.
Despite calls for him to drop out, President Biden remains in Delaware, self-isolating after testing positive for Covid. With a growing number of congressional Democrats urging him to step aside, Biden’s decision in the coming days could reshape the dynamics of the upcoming election. Stay tuned for more updates on this developing story.
