After a disastrous showing at the initial debate of the 2024 presidential race, the pressure is mounting on President Biden within his own party. Calls for his ousting at the Democrat National Committee (DNC) convention are gaining traction, with some prominent figures openly advocating for a swift replacement to challenge former President Trump.
Notably, former Democrat hopeful Andrew Yang took to social media to assert that Biden must be substituted if the Democrats aspire to pose a credible threat to Trump in the upcoming election. The sentiment is echoed further by CNN’s John King, who highlighted a palpable sense of urgency and alarm within the Democrat ranks.
Funny how the only ones who are surprised at Biden’s debate performance are those who only listen to legacy media…

The rumblings of discontent within the party spell trouble for Biden’s prospects as the clamor for his departure grows louder. MSNBC’s Kristen Welker suggested a moment of stagnation in Biden’s campaign, with some lawmakers even hinting at the futility of his continued candidacy.
CBS revealed that certain House Democrats are gearing up to engage the White House in discussions to persuade Biden to gracefully bow out of the race. Even left-leaning outlet Mediaite has joined the chorus, urging Biden to step aside in light of his lackluster debate performance.
With expectations already lowered for Biden, his failure to meet even those modest benchmarks spells uncertainty for his future as the presumptive nominee. As the DNC convention looms, all eyes are on whether Biden will weather the storm of criticism and retain his candidacy in the face of mounting opposition within his own party.
