Well folks, it seems like the political arena is heating up with whispers and rumors swirling about President Joe Biden potentially pulling out of the 2024 presidential race. Yes, you read that right! According to a scoop from Axios, there’s serious chatter that Biden might drop out before the weekend is over!

And it’s not just idle gossip; the buzz includes some big names in the Democratic party, commonly referred to as “top Democrats” in the announcement.

Here’s where it gets really interesting. A new poll by The Associated Press-NORC Center For Public Affairs Research shows that nearly two-thirds of Democrats would rather see Biden step back from the race. That’s a significant chunk of his own party!

The underlying concern? Whether Biden can actually go toe-to-toe with ex-President Trump and come out victorious. Heaven forbid Trump wins, it could also mean a Republican sweep in Congress. Speaker Emerita Nancy Pelosi apparently gave Biden a heads-up that this scenario could unfold if he doesn’t make a strategic retreat.

Adding fuel to the fire, many have pointed out Biden’s less-than-stellar debate performance on June 27 and the general lack of excitement surrounding his campaign. It’s certainly not the energy you’d expect from a presidential campaign on the brink of another term.

As if that weren’t enough, recent polls have shown Trump leading Biden by about 1.9%. A close margin, sure, but in politics, even a fraction of a percentage can be a game-changer.
