As President Joe Biden faces growing calls to drop out of the 2024 race, Democratic lawmakers, including Seth Moulton and Adam Smith, question his ability to lead due to his age and performance. Prominent figures like Sherrod Brown, Barack Obama, and Nancy Pelosi have also expressed concerns, while a poll shows that nearly two-thirds of Democrats believe Biden should step aside.

Potential alternatives being suggested include Kamala Harris, Gavin Newsom, Gretchen Whitmer, and Josh Shapiro. There are discussions of forming a historic two-woman ticket with Harris and Whitmer, who have the experience and popularity to counter Trump.

Al Sharpton, however, believes Biden should make up his own mind about his re-election bid. Black and Hispanic Democrats are holding firm for Biden, defending him to secure Harris's future and expressing concerns about the party's direction.

Meanwhile, Biden is stewing at his beach house, resentful of pressure to drop out and questioning the support of his allies. The Trump campaign is also preparing an attack plan against Harris if Biden withdraws as the nominee.
