Maria Shriver, the former first lady of California and a member of the Kennedy family, expressed her empathy for President Biden amid reports suggesting he may withdraw from the 2024 election. Shriver took to social media to share her sentiments, stating that her 'heart is breaking' for the President.
Shriver emphasized the importance of showing compassion towards Biden, highlighting his lifelong dedication to serving the country. She urged people, regardless of their political affiliations, to recognize the human aspect of the situation, describing it as a challenging moment for Biden.
According to sources, there is growing speculation within the Democratic Party that Biden might step down from the 2024 race. Key figures in the party, including leaders, friends, and donors, reportedly believe that Biden's chances of winning are slim. Concerns have been raised about his ability to alter public perceptions regarding his age and mental acuity, as well as his capacity to secure congressional majorities.
The sources indicated that Biden is being advised that staying in the race could potentially pave the way for former President Trump to secure a landslide victory, thereby overshadowing Biden's legacy and jeopardizing the Democrats' prospects in the upcoming November elections.
Shriver's close relationship with the Biden family was evident as she attended the State of the Union address earlier this year as a guest of First Lady Jill Biden. Her public display of support for President Biden reflects the deep personal connection she shares with the family.
