President Joe Biden is facing a critical point in his reelection bid as Democratic calls for him to exit the 2024 race continue to mount despite his efforts to shut them down.
A poor debate performance against Donald Trump in June reignited questions about Biden’s age and fitness to carry out his campaign and serve another four years. Biden has defiantly insisted he is staying the course, telling lawmakers this week he is not going anywhere.
On July 11, Biden held his first news conference since the debate — taking multiple questions about his political future.
Sen. Sherrod Brown of Ohio became the fourth Senate Democrat to call on Biden to end his campaign Friday.
Brown said in a statement many of his constituents have reached out to him about the important matters in this year’s election.
«I agree with the many Ohioans who have reached out to me. At this critical time, our full attention must return to these important issues. I think the President should end his campaign», he said.

Democratic Rep. Gabe Vasquez of New Mexico called for Biden to end his campaign in a post on X Friday afternoon.
«With abortion rights under attack and our Democracy at stake, we must unite to defeat Donald Trump and MAGA extremists», he wrote.
