At least three more House Democrats called on President Biden not to run for re-election in 2024 after his first solo news conference in months. Reps. Jim Himes, Scott Peters, and Eric Sorensen said it was time for Biden to step aside due to concerns over his debate performance, polling, and ability to defeat Trump. They want the Democratic nominee to be someone who can better communicate a vision and confront the threats to democracy posed by Trump. One Democratic official said Biden failed to ease concerns about his political situation or offer a realistic re-election plan focused on issues voters care about.
