Is the process starting for Joe Biden to consider withdrawing from consideration as the Democrat candidate for president in 2024?
With multiple leaders in the Democrat Party asking him to stand down, Biden has now tabled the idea of taking himself out of the presidential race if a medical condition would prevent him from running.

Up until about a month ago, the Democrat Party, and I mean the entire Democrat Party, was trying to tell the American people that Joe Biden was the best man for the job. After his debate with Trump, now they all want him gone. This is their fault… they sold Americans a faulty product, liberal voters bought it, and now they want to get a bailout.
This is happening because Biden is getting slaughtered in polling. In the latest Emerson College poll, a poll sponsored by Democrats, Trump has a four—to six-point lead on Biden. Trump is also beating Harris, but not by as much. In the national average, Trump is distancing himself from Biden, now leading by 2.5%. Before the debate, Biden had a .02% lead on Trump, so that is a big move.
In battleground states, Biden is getting crushed. In most battleground states, Trump’s lead has stretched beyond the error of margin, except in Virginia, where voters appear to be delusional. In Virginia, Biden is beating Trump 43.4% to 41.2%. Arizona, Florida, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, Ohio, and Wisconsin are all falling to Trump. To add insult to injury, Trump is also ahead in New Jersey, taking a 1-point lead in the latest co-efficient poll.
During a BET interview, as Biden pandered for more minority votes, he finally set the table to bow out of the race. In an excerpt from the interview, Biden stated:
“If I had some medical condition that emerged, if somebody, if doctors came to me and said, you got this problem and that problem.”
Biden also tried to explain why he felt the need to run again, stating:
“I said I was going to be a transitional candidate, and I thought I would be able to move on from this and pass it on to somebody else.
“But I didn’t anticipate things getting so, so, so divided. And quite frankly, I think the only thing age brings is a little bit of wisdom.”
This is the division that Biden created with his rhetoric against MAGA and Donald Trump. He has painted both MAGA and Trump as a threat to this country, literally putting a “bullseye” on Trump during a call with donors and regularly making posts on social media that Donald Trump is a threat to everything that America stands for.
Biden’s comments about his health really blew up late Wednesday when it was announced that Biden’s Nevada appearance was canceled, and his schedule was cleared for the next few days because Biden had tested positive for COVID for the third time. Biden went to Delaware, where he would “self-isolate” until he was cleared.
There were reports on Wednesday that Senator Schumer (D-N.Y.) and Biden had a very tense phone call about Biden’s candidacy. My guess is that Schumer may have even threatened Biden with the 25th Amendment, and Biden clearly does not want to be embarrassed like that, so maybe he is now setting the table to step down gracefully. If that happens, Democrats cannot be left off the hook for deceiving the American people about Biden’s health and taking the election process out of the hands of Americans.
For the first time in this election cycle, I am starting to believe there is a chance of not only holding the House but also significantly expanding the lead. I don’t see how Democrat voters will feel energized to head to the polls with the lies they have been told and the likelihood of Kamala leading the ticket.
