President Joe Biden could determine his political future within the next couple of days, according to a Democratic governor.
The entire world is anxiously awaiting whether Biden decides to stay in the 2024 presidential race as the Democratic nominee or chooses to drop out and let someone replace him atop the ticket. Speculation has swirled about Biden’s candidacy following his presidential debate performance against former President Donald Trump, though the president has remained steadfast thus far in his candidacy.
“We’ll probably know in the next couple of days how the president feels about all this,” Hawaii Gov. Josh Green told the Associated Press on Saturday.
“I think the president stays in this race unless he feels that it is not winnable, or he feels that he has to hear other voices in his inner circle that he shouldn’t run,” Green said. “If the president felt that he wasn’t up to it and truly not up to it, he would step down.
Biden has long faced questions about his age and mental acuity following several gaffes and moments over a number of years, though his debate performance raised questions about the severity of his condition. He is the oldest sitting president in the country’s history, currently 81 years old. Biden will turn 82 a couple of weeks after the election and would serve until the age of 86 if he’s reelected.
