(Washington, DC) — Members of President Biden’s family have reportedly started discussions about a possible plan to exit the race for the White House. NBC News cites two people familiar with the discussions. The sources say the talks have focused on any exit plan that puts the Democratic party in the best position to defeat former President Trump while also honoring Biden’s decades of public service. Biden has faced growing calls from fellow Democrats to step aside while multiple reports have claimed a decision could come in the next few days.
Meanwhile, President Biden’s campaign chair says he’s still in the 2024 presidential race. Jen O’Malley Dillon pushed back against reports the President was considering exiting the race. She acknowledged the campaign’s recent struggles, but said one of their top priorities moving forward is going to be assuring the American people Biden is fit to serve another term. Dillon insisted support for Biden is strong and said unity among Democrats is what will beat Donald Trump in November. She repeatedly warned of the consequences of the former President winning a second term.
