Biden Campaign, White House Reject Rumors of Biden Exiting 2024 Race

President Joe Biden’s campaign reaffirmed his commitment on Thursday to remain in the presidential race, despite media speculation that top Democrats privately asked him to reconsider his 2024 candidacy.

“President Biden has given us the answer that he’s staying in the race, and we’re supporting him,” Rep. Joyce Beatty (D-Ohio), campaign surrogate, told reporters at a news conference in Milwaukee.

Ms. Beatty said she is confident that Democrats will unite behind President Biden, referring to the calls for him to step down as “family discussions” among the Democratic coalition.

“I am very comfortable that we will be more unified because we understand that diversity is our strength and we are a party of diverse individuals, but we also recognize greater than that, that unity is our power,” she said.

On July 17, media reports revealed that top Democrats, including House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.) and Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.), had spoken separately with the president to raise concerns about the possibility of Democrats losing control of Congress in 2024 and advise him to reconsider his reelection bid.
