Could Biden Reconsider?

December 11, 2023 · 10:02 pm ET · Leave a Comment

Charlie Cook: “We are now in a clutch moment, not knowing which direction things are about to go. While we should assume that President Biden will continue to seek a second term until he says otherwise, events and comments in recent days have raised the possibility of him making another choice.”

“This is not a prediction that he will stand aside and allow his party to go in a different direction for the nomination, only that the chances of that happening seem greater today than a week or two ago. This is a time of peak uncertainty…”

“The idea of a president embarking on a reelection campaign only to bail out midstream is not unprecedented.”
