There have been increasing calls among Democrats for Biden to step aside and allow someone else to become the party’s nominee.
Axios reported that Democratic Sen. Mark Warner is speaking with his colleagues about the possible removal of Biden from the party’s ticket. Democratic House members and donors have also been moving in that direction.
Biden stated emphatically at his Wisconsin rally that he has no intention of leaving the race.
“You probably heard — had a little debate last week. Can’t say it was my best performance,” he said. “But ever since then, there’s been a lot of speculation. What’s Joe going to do? Is he going to stay in the race? Is he going to drop out? What’s he going to do?”

Perhaps realizing he misspoke, he added, “By the way we’re going to do it again in 2024.”
