President Joe Biden is reportedly becoming more open to the idea of stepping down from his re-election bid for the 2024 presidential race. According to multiple reports from CNN's Jeff Zeleny, Biden has shifted his stance and is now asking advisers if Vice President Kamala Harris can win the election. Senior Democratic advisers have noted that Biden is being more receptive to calls of concern and is not as defiant as he was previously. Chuck Schumer has provided detailed reasoning on why it would be best for the party. This development marks a significant change in Biden's approach to his political future, as he previously expressed doubts about Harris's electability. The odds of Biden dropping out are up to 67%.
