Former President Trump commented on President Biden's decision to stay in the 2024 race despite calls for him to step down following a debated performance. Trump suggested that Biden's ego is a driving factor in his decision to continue running. Biden, in a letter to House Democrats, reaffirmed his commitment to the race, citing his significant voter support and delegate count as reasons for staying in the race.
Trump speculated that if Biden were to exit the race, Vice President Kamala Harris might step in, although he criticized her effectiveness in various roles. Trump noted that Biden's delegate count gives him significant power within the Democratic Party, making it challenging for party members to push him out of the race without utilizing the 25th Amendment.
House Democrats held a virtual meeting to discuss Biden's re-election campaign, with some members expressing a desire for him to step aside. However, Democratic House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries reiterated his support for Biden and the Democratic ticket.
The upcoming debate between Biden and Trump in September is anticipated to be a significant event in the ongoing political landscape.
