Historian Douglas Brinkley appeared on MSNBC to drop some truth bombs about President Joe Biden’s potential withdrawal from the 2024 presidential race. According to Brinkley, Biden pulling the plug on his reelection bid looks “less likely” by the day. Despite calls from within the Democratic Party to end his campaign due to a lackluster performance in a recent debate with former President Donald Trump, Biden seems determined to soldier on.
Brinkley pointed out the frustration among journalists over Biden’s lack of availability for press conferences, painting a picture of a president who prefers to keep a low profile. However, with a solo press conference after the NATO summit and another media appearance on the horizon, Biden is facing crucial tests that could shape his political future.

As the clock ticks down to the Republican convention, Brinkley highlighted how each passing day makes it less probable for Biden to step aside. The Democratic National Committee is even resorting to a virtual roll call to secure Biden’s nomination before an important deadline in Ohio.
Age and mental fitness have been persistent concerns surrounding Biden, especially after a series of gaffes where he claimed to have conversations with deceased individuals. Brinkley’s analysis also touched on Vice President Kamala Harris, suggesting she plays a key role in potential scenarios involving Biden’s candidacy.
In the fast-paced world of politics, every move matters, and Biden finds himself under increasing scrutiny as he navigates the challenges of reelection. Brinkley’s insights shed light on the internal dynamics of the Democratic Party and the uphill battle Biden faces as he strives to secure his place on the 2024 ballot.
