President Biden is weathering significant criticism and calls to withdraw from the presidential race from some Democrats.
Despite this, Senate Democrats on Capitol Hill are standing firm in their support for the president as he commits to staying in the 2024 race.
Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer confidently stated, “As I’ve said before, I’m for Joe,” as he spoke to reporters following a recess.
Although some senators have expressed concerns over Biden’s debate performance, none have openly called for his resignation.
While no senator has explicitly demanded Biden step down, some are urging him to prove his readiness for a robust campaign.
Senate President Pro Tempore Patty Murray emphasized the need for Biden to demonstrate his ability to campaign vigorously against Donald Trump.
Senator Jon Tester, facing a challenging reelection in Montana, echoed Murray’s sentiments, calling for Biden to show he can handle another four years in office.
Meanwhile, Senator Joe Manchin, now an Independent but caucusing with Democrats, believes it’s too early to judge the race and insists Biden still has a chance to win.
Senator Michael Bennet of Colorado stressed the importance of open discussions among Democrats to ensure a path to victory.
Senators Tina Smith and Tammy Baldwin also voiced concerns about Biden’s ability to win but stopped short of calling for him to step down.
Seeking the Strongest Path Forward
Senator Mark Warner attempted to organize a meeting to discuss Biden’s support but instead called for conversations about the best strategy moving forward.
He emphasized the need for Biden to make his case more aggressively to the American people.
Strong Endorsements
Senator Catherine Cortez Masto of Nevada and Senator Chris Coons offered strong endorsements of Biden, highlighting his commitment to working people and his impactful presidency.
Bernie Sanders also reaffirmed his support, encouraging Biden to engage directly with the public and let them decide his fitness for office.
Republicans Eye Vulnerable Democrats
As Democrats navigate internal discussions, Republicans are leveraging Biden’s debate performance to target vulnerable Democratic senators facing reelection.
With multiple incumbent Democrats running in states Trump won in 2020, the GOP sees an opportunity to regain the Senate majority in 2024.
