Democrats Rush to Back Joe Biden as President Fights Off Calls to Step AsideElizabeth Weibel 8 Jul 2024
Several Democrats have rushed to defend President Joe Biden amid calls for him to withdraw from the presidential race.
House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (NY), Sen. Bob Casey (PA), and Sen. Mark Warner (VA) are among the Democrats who have come out in support of the president in the aftermath of his lackluster performance at the presidential debate on June 27.
Andrew Desiderio, a reporter with Punchbowl News, reported that upon being asked if he was comfortable with Biden’s fitness to serve another term as president, Casey “didn’t directly answer” questions from reporters.
Casey reportedly told reporters that the Democrat Party already has its “two nominees,” referring to the incumbent president and Vice President Kamala Harris.
“I’ve got a race to run,” Casey reportedly added. “I’ll let the political scientists analyze. I’m not gonna be an analyst.”
