Joe Biden is now considering the possibility of Kamala Harris replacing him at the top of the 2024 presidential ticket.
According to CNN, Biden is “being more receptive” to suggestions for him to step aside and make way for Kamala Harris, and is asking his advisors if they think “Kamala can win” against President Trump.
CNN released this update after Biden canceled his campaign event in Las Vegas due to testing positive for Covid-19.
CNN reported:
As President Joe Biden flies back to Delaware from Las Vegas on Wednesday night, cutting his trip short after testing positive for Covid-19, he faces one of the most momentous decisions of his long political life: Should he heed the rising calls from his fellow Democrats to extinguish his bid for reelection?
For Biden, is it a new moment?
Even though anger and panic have been steadily rising inside the Democratic Party for nearly three weeks, after the president’s alarming debate performance in Atlanta, the White House and the Biden campaign are in a new place, multiple Democratic officials told CNN.
“The private conversations with the Hill are continuing,” a senior Democratic adviser told CNN, speaking on condition of anonymity to avoid alienating the campaign and the White House. “He’s being receptive. Not as defiant as he is publicly.”
“He’s gone from saying, ‘Kamala can’t win,’ to ‘Do you think Kamala can win? “ the adviser said. “It’s still unclear where he’s going to land but seems to be listening.
