Democratic Lawmakers Expected to Call for Biden to Step Aside in 48 Hours

After reportedly facing internal pressure from within the Democratic Party, President Joe Biden is under increasing scrutiny, with several Democratic lawmakers expected to call for him to step aside from the 2024 presidential race within the next 48 hours.

According to informed sources, the planning is coordinated, with some statements already pre-written. House Democratic leadership has given the green light for members to speak their minds, anticipating a highly tumultuous period in the coming days.

A Predicted "Brutal" Timeframe

An insider has predicted that the next three to four days will be "brutal," and that it may become untenable for the president to continue in the race by sometime next week. Despite the expected backlash from the President, Democratic leaders are not anticipated to publicly speak out themselves or seek a forced replacement, aiming to avoid a public break.

Challenging the President's Candidacy

So far, 13 House Democrats and one Senate Democrat have publicly called on President Biden to end his reelection bid, reflecting an increasing level of dissent within the party. Efforts to persuade President Biden to reconsider stepping into the race again may come from individuals close to him, such as his sister Valerie, or his wife, the first lady Jill Biden. Their message could focus on the potential tarnishing of the Democratic Party and its electoral prospects.

Speculations on Vice President Harris

If President Biden were to step aside, it is predicted that Vice President Kamala Harris would ultimately move to the top of the ticket, potentially taking over the $240 million war chest. However, the Democratic Party would then need to secure more support among men and select a male running mate to join her on the ticket.

The potential transition in the Democratic Party's leadership raises questions about the party's strategy to challenge former President Donald Trump in the 2024 elections.
