Deep dives

Majority of Democrats Prefer Different Presidential Nominee

According to a Washington Post poll, 56% of Democrats want to see a different Democratic nominee in the next election, while only 35% support Joe Biden. This sentiment is reflected in the cautious responses of Democratic leaders when asked about Biden's potential 2024 run. Nancy Pelosi declined to comment on whether he should run, and Chuck Schumer said that he would support Biden if he chose to run. This shift in sentiment may reflect concerns about Biden's indecisiveness and a desire for a fresh candidate in the next election.
