House Democrat from Ohio, Rep. Greg Landsman, is raising concerns about President Joe Biden’s ability to win reelection in 2024. In an interview with CNN, Landsman expressed that he is getting closer to calling on Biden to withdraw from the race, citing the uphill battle he may face.
Landsman highlighted the need for Biden to make a strong case against former President Donald Trump, emphasizing the potential dangers of a second Trump presidency. He mentioned Biden’s recent debate performance and how it may have made it harder for him to garner support.
Despite Biden’s efforts to shore up support within the party, including a letter to congressional Democrats and hitting back at party “elites,” some Democrats are still expressing doubts about his chances in the upcoming election.
Landsman stressed the importance of Biden being able to effectively make the case against Trump, stating that if Biden is unable to do so, he should consider stepping aside for someone who can.
As Biden prepares for a news conference on Thursday, all eyes will be on him to see how he addresses these concerns and demonstrates his ability to lead the country in the face of potential challenges.
