Democrats are freaking out about the 2024 election, and Joe Biden’s future is in serious doubt. Calls for him to drop out are growing, and elected Democrats are increasingly going on the record suggesting that he should, at the very least, consider dropping out.
Biden wrote a letter to congressional Democrats on Monday revealing his intentions. He’s not dropping out.
“I want you to know that despite all the speculation in the press and elsewhere, I am firmly committed to staying in this race, to running this race to the end, and to beating Donald Trump”, he wrote in the letter.
“The question of how to move forward has been well-aired for over a week now. And it’s time for it to end. We have one job. And that is to beat Donald Trump. We have 42 days to the Democratic Convention and 119 days to the general election. Any weakening of resolve or lack of clarity about the task ahead only helps Trump and hurts us,” Biden added. “It is time to come together, move forward as a unified party, and defeat Donald Trump.”
The letter likely won’t convince Democrats that Biden has what it takes to continue the campaign, but according to CNN, he intends to try this week.
The president will continue his outreach to Democratic lawmakers this week, a campaign official tells CNN.
