Reps. Jerry Nadler (DN.Y.), Joe Morelle (DN.Y.), Adam Smith (D-Wash.) and Mark Takano (D-Calif.) voiced their concerns during a two-hour meeting, expressing doubts about Biden's ability to win the next presidential race. The Democrats' comments join those of five other House members who have already questioned Biden's re-election prospects, particularly after his poor performance in the first presidential debate against former President Donald Trump.
Calls for Biden to retire in 2024 come amid growing anxieties in the Democratic Party about his electoral viability. The latest development underscores deep concerns within party ranks about Biden's leadership and raises questions about the future direction of the Democratic Party as the next presidential election nears.
The mounting pressure on the Biden administration from within his own party highlights the significant challenges facing Joe Biden as he strives to regain the trust and support of his fellow Democrats heading into the 2024 presidential election in november
