2024 election live updates: Biden rallies in Wisconsin before key ABC interview

Democratic insiders have told The Independent that they believe there is “no question” Vice President Kamala Harris would receive the baton if Biden chose not to run in November.

But a Biden campaign spokesperson said that the president is “absolutely not dropping out.”

If he did, Democrats would have to pick a new presidential nominee. And the logistics surrounding that are not simple.

Biden’s hotly anticipated interview with ABC News’ George Stephanopolous could fall short in more ways than one. The president has reportedly been set aside only around 15 minutes.

Virginia Senator Senator Mark Warner is looking to lead a group of Democratic senators that want President Joe Biden to step aside before November’s election, according to The Washington Post.

Warner is reportedly saying to colleagues that Biden can’t stay in the race following his dismal debate performance and that he’s worried that Biden cannot run a campaign that will defeat former president Donald Trump.

With pressure mounting for Joe Biden to stand aside after his troubling debate performance against Donald Trump, vice president Kamala Harris has emerged as a surprisingly strong potential challenger to the ex-president.

AOC is filing impeachment articles. Other Democrats are backing a constitutional amendment to reverse the Supreme Court’s presidential immunity ruling. Ethics investigations are underway. And Biden is once again facing calls to back an expansion of the bench.

Here’s how Democrats in Congress are pushing to overhaul the Supreme Court:

A defiant Biden told voters he isn’t going anywhere and pledged to deny Donald Trump a second White House term, even as he continues to face more calls to stand down from the 2024 presidential race amid questions over his fitness to compete for and serve out a second four-year term.

Biden, who spoke to a raucous crowd of supporters in Madison, Wisconsin on Friday, said he is his party’s nominee in this year’s presidential election because of “millions of Democrats like you” who voted for him “in primaries all across America.”

“The voters did that, and despite that, some folks don’t seem to care who you voted for … they’re trying to push me out of the race,” he said.

“Let me say as clearly as I can: I’m staying in the race. I’ll beat Donald Trump,” he said. “I beat him in 2020 … and by the way, we’re going to do it again in 2024.”
