2024 Presidential Election,Joe Biden
President Joe Biden is reportedly mulling a decision to step aside from the 2024 presidential race as a new poll has deepened a dilemma involving Vice President Kamala Harris.
On Wednesday evening, CNN's Jeff Zeleny reported that a senior Democratic adviser has said that the president, who was diagnosed with COVID earlier in the day, has become "more receptive" to calls for him to step down.
"I'm told now he is asking questions saying, 'Do you think Kamala can win?'" Zeleny said on CNN. "Again, this adviser offers caution saying: 'It is still unclear where he is going to land but he seems to be listening.'"
