President Biden to Withdraw from 2024 Presidential Race, Sources Say
Breaking news from the Political Pulpit: President Joe Biden is reportedly set to withdraw from the 2024 presidential race. Sources indicate that Biden has informed campaign officials of his decision, with an official announcement expected by Sunday. Despite his withdrawal, Biden will not endorse another candidate, such as Vice President Kamala Harris. The Democratic National Convention in August is anticipated to be a brokered convention, the first since 1952, with numerous candidates vying for the nomination.
Analysis and Implications
This development follows intense pressure from top Democrats and major donors who threatened to withhold $90 million in campaign funding if Biden did not step down. Reports suggest that key figures, including former President Barack Obama and Speaker Nancy Pelosi, have urged Biden to withdraw for the greater good of the party. Biden’s recent positive COVID-19 test has added to the urgency of this decision.
What’s Next?
With Biden stepping down, the Democratic Party faces a wide-open race for the nomination. Potential candidates include Vice President Kamala Harris, California Governor Gavin Newsom, and Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer. The upcoming brokered convention in Chicago could lead to a historic and highly competitive selection process.
