Democratic governors, including Tim Walz of Minnesota, Wes Moore of Maryland, and Kathy Hochul of New York, expressed support for President Joe Biden following a meeting with him. They emphasized the importance of unity and backing Biden’s campaign for the upcoming November election. Michigan governor Gretchen Whitmer also voiced her support for Biden on social media. Despite some concerns and criticisms within the Democratic Party, governors and key figures like Dr. Anthony Fauci continue to highlight Biden’s capabilities and determination.
There have been reports of Democratic megadonor Reed Hastings calling for Biden to step down, but the White House has denied any plans of the president withdrawing from the race. As the 2024 Democratic national convention approaches, where Biden is expected to be officially endorsed as the party’s candidate, the topic of potential replacements has surfaced. However, there is no formal mechanism to replace Biden, and any major decision to step aside would be unprecedented in modern US politics.
Amidst these discussions, concerns about former President Donald Trump’s willingness to accept election results have been raised, with a majority of Americans doubting his concession if he were to lose. While Biden continues to face scrutiny and calls for change within his party, strong support from governors and other key figures indicate a united front as the campaign for the presidency progresses.
