Problems don’t seem to end for our dear old “Most Powerful Leader of the Democratic World,” Joe Biden. With his age and mental capabilities already making it tough for him to continue, he now faces pressure from his own party. Former President Obama and many fellow Democrat leaders want Biden to step down.
Concerns Grew After the Presidential Debate
The first presidential debate raised concerns among Democrats about Biden’s performance. The situation worsened after the incident of Donald Trump’s Shooting in Pennsylvania. Even Barack Obama thinks that Joe Biden should not continue as the Democrat presidential face. Although there is no news of a new presidential candidate yet, Biden is being suggested to step down on his own terms.
Biden’s Determination to Continue as Presidential Candidate Against Trump
Despite the growing pressure, Biden remains confident in his capabilities as a politician and wants to continue in the race. It might sound outrageous, but he believes he stands a chance of winning against Donald Trump in the US Elections 2024, showcasing a belief in his political acumen.

The Washington Post revealed on Thursday that former US President Barack Obama has advised allies that Joe Biden needs to reevaluate his candidacy for re-election. Obama, according to those informed on his thoughts, feels that Biden’s chances of winning have decreased and that the 81-year-old needs to “seriously consider the viability of his candidacy,” the newspaper stated.
Increasing Pressure from Within the Party
Barack Obama, who served as president from 2009 to 2017 while Joe Biden served as vice president, remains incredibly influential within the Democratic party. Obama has not responded immediately to the report. After an abject debate performance against Donald Trump, Obama has become the most prominent Democrat to date to join the increasing clamour within the party demanding that Biden withdraw.
Biden’s Response and Future Prospects For the Democrats
Rejecting questions about his age and fitness, Joe Biden has stated that he will continue to run for president while spending time alone at his beach property with Covid. However, the pressure is growing. According to reports, Biden has spoken with House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries and Democratic Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer recently, both of whom have warned that Biden’s candidacy might jeopardize his party’s chances of winning in November. As the US Elections 2024 approach, the Democratic party faces a critical decision regarding their candidate.
Our Opinion
We think that whatever Joe Biden or Donald Trump decides should be their prerogative. However, it is the US Elections we are talking about. Every working or even retired politician wants to be active in the election season.
At New India, we think that the leader of the most powerful nation should at least be in control of his mental faculties. Shaking hands with invisible dignitaries, calling Zalinski by Putin’s name, constantly freezing on important stages, falling off standing bicycles, falling on the stairs multiple times within seconds, and smelling Kid’s hair smelling experience. This is just a list of blunders that President Biden has made in the past month.
But, it is still the richest and most powerful country in the world. So, the person running that country must have a strong personality at least. Biden’s recent performances at world stages have also not been up to the mark and the Democrats are well aware of that.
Let’s wait and watch how this game of the White House unfolds.
Till then
This is New India
