2nd Dem. Senator Calls on Biden to Step Down Amid Reports He May Be on Verge of Ending Campaign

HeadlineJul 19, 2024

On the Democratic side, several outlets are reporting Democratic insiders believe “we’re close to the end” of Biden’s presidential run and that he could step down as soon as this weekend. Montana Senator Jon Tester, who is in a close reelection bid, became the second Democratic senator to call on President Biden to drop out of the race. This comes as The Washington Post reports former President Obama has privately told allies that Biden should reconsider staying in the race. Biden is now in isolation suffering from COVID.
