The discussions among Democrats come amid growing concerns that Biden’s candidacy could jeopardize the Democratic Party’s control of Congress. Some party members fear that his continued presence in the race might weaken the party’s overall chances in the upcoming elections. The uncertainty surrounding Biden’s potential withdrawal has sparked intense debate within the Democratic Party about the best path forward.
Additionally, concerns about Biden’s age and health have been points of contention among both supporters and critics.

If Biden does drop out, it’d be a perfect coda to his career.
He’d end his half-century run in Washington doing what he loves best: humiliating himself out of a presidential race.
