Maine Rep. Jared Golden made headlines on Tuesday as the second member of Congress to declare his lack of confidence in President Biden’s candidacy for the 2024 election. In an op-ed for the Bangor Daily News, Golden expressed his belief that Donald Trump is likely to win the election, citing Biden’s poor performance in a debate against Trump as confirmation of this outcome.
While Golden did not explicitly call for Biden to step aside and allow another Democratic candidate to take his place, a recent CNN/SSRS poll shows that 75% of registered voters believe the Democratic Party has a better chance of keeping the White House if Biden were to do so. This sentiment was echoed by 56% of Democrats and Democrat-leaning independents surveyed.
The growing skepticism surrounding Biden’s reelection bid is indicative of the uncertainty and division within the Democratic Party as the 2024 election approaches. As the political landscape continues to shift, it will be interesting to see how Biden and the Democratic Party respond to these challenges in the coming months. Stay tuned for updates on this developing story.
