- As US President Joe Biden was seeking to demonstrate his leadership qualities at the NATO summit, pressure is mounting on him to abandon his bid for re-election.
A blow came from actor George Clooney, who is also one of the leading fundraisers for the Democrats. In the New York Times, Clooney wrote: "We're not going to win in November with this president [...] That's not just my opinion; that's the opinion of every senator, member of Congress and governor I've spoken to in private."
But slowly, some of those opinions are making their way into public as well. Democratic Senator Peter Welch of Vermont has become the first senator to publicly call for President Biden to withdraw from the presidential race. And in a TV interview, former US House Speaker Nancy Pelosi seemed to dodge the question of whether or not she backs Biden's candidacy. She said the decision was up to him.
For more on this, we talk to Boris Vormann. He is a professor of political science and tells us how significant the pressure is on Joe Biden to drop his reelection bid.

#Biden #Reelection #USElection2024
Is it too much to ask for a president under the age of 80? A country of 340,000,000 people with some of the most brilliant researchers, engineers, doctors, business titans etc….. and this is the best the two side can come up with?
The U.S. president are all puppets to corporations. But this time THIS one cant even string two sentences together in a coherent manner. Biden is obviously a terrible embarrassment for all of U.S. ---- AND to the rest of the free democratic world actually. Even we in the EU are cringing every time we see this dinosaur speaking of things he dont understand ... As a European leader Biden would have been plain impossible.
There must be hundreds of thousands of careered professionals from the foreign service, or other institutions that actually contribute to the day to day workings of the country besides senators, servicemen, or business moguls. People for whom while the presidency is a greater responsibility but not wholly uncharted territory.
The USA and elections is sham. The electoral college elects the presidency and the uniwarparty always wins 😁😁😁 small hats 🙃🙃🙃🥳🥳🥳🥳
Don't listen to them, Joe! The voices are only inside your head.
😂😂😂
😅
😂😂😂😂😂
Sigh
😂.
Do whatever is good for America.🇺🇸
They are incapable of it in their inadequacy
None of it is "good for America".
Trump would be worst, and anything increasing his chances.
@lessparks8553 Oh are we, do tell
best comment so far!
If he had said a year ago he wasn't going to seek another term, he would've gone down in history as an important president.. Maybe not good, maybe not great, but certainly not terrible... Now we all have to watch this crazy old man trying for no reason other than his own ego, to stay in the most powerful position in the world. It is beyond pathetic, the old man needs to step aside.
Ugg
Isn’t it interesting that an old foolishness best they can offer?
totally agree, this reflects the reality where "Democracy" and "Leadership" is today in the countly that is the first defender of this type of goverment... America's founding fathers must be so proud!!....................
Cooked
We need a young, handsome man for President 😂
And who would that be? Maybe someone on the Bachelorette?
Why not a middle aged handsome woman😂
Vermont is low key one of the most based states.
the "big ones" from the democratic party doesn't dare (still) to go against the president... they are (still) too afraid
*Hopefully, his hearing aid can relay the message to his brain.*
More than enough,, Please take a rest for ever
Both men are at retirement age if viewed tastefully in most societies so what gives to give these candidates a vote for the future?
They maybe, one of my Rep, lost a voter, the other one may also lose a voter. So, he hosting Nato, giving speaches, dinners , meetings, he jets off to give a speach to Union workers, what wrong with this picture?
Why would anyone listen to actors about politics tho? Im all for Biden stepping down, but Actors are not the one to give their opinion
Let Clooney the clown be the President then😂
Bye bye 👋
Could someone in the media please demand an answer from Jake Sullivan and Donald Trump, about their controversial positions on Ukraine? For example; If the USA were invaded and under constant missile attack by a powerful enemy, 1. Would Sullivan refuse to launch missiles at the enemy launch sites in fear of escalation? and 2. Would Trump be willing to hand over Alaska and the state of California as a trade-off for peace????
WENSDAY IS PUDDING DAY
It’s over Joe … simples …
Since you can't even spell simple, ditto to you too
@@birdsongandblood Good point it would definitely be a mistake for Joe Biden or user-uk1uu9vt8z to run for president. They are comparable.
@@birdsongandblood ha ha ha thx
@@birdsongandblood you’ve never heard “ simples “ used that lol … now u have .
Enjoy yr day
Its kinda too late to switch candidates now isnt it
...are all of these sources and outlets (like this) working for the other side? This is something that should've been done at least a year ago. It's too late now and this only serves to worsen the situation.
what can be worse???.... if he stays, it's a guarantee win for Trump i mean... AT LEAST TRY....
So because it should have been done earlier the best thing to do now is nothing? As someone who isn't a democrat, if the party thinks something is the right thing to do then how about they do it rather than whinging about it. The handwringing is not endearing to independents.
In short, we don't give a damn about what is good for any party's prospects. Don't pretend to care about the country's future if it comes second to maintaining political blocs. No one should just vote red or vote blue all their life.
It'd be amazing to see any US Congress person under the age of 800
lmao clooney
I love how media are pretending they just now found out he is not capable 😅
0:57 What's that Nancy? ''Up to the president to ceside?'' Even SHE can't talk...
Trump is a Russian puppet, but come on...... You won't win.
Biden, Pelosi, Trump ... old people and gaff machines. I HOPE the United States can do better when it comes to governing the country ...
Biden is a good man - but someone should tell him that Trump strongly supports his candidacy.
The American people are going to protect and support Biden because the people trust and believe in him.
The most powerful thing in any election is incumbency.
One of the keys of winning an election is to make sure the party is unified behind a candidate. Ted Kennedy's primary challenge gave us Reagan. Replacing a candidate with less than 4 months who hasn't campaigned will be a disaster that leads to a Trump victory.
Also: First.
Makes you wonder if he’s trying to sabotage his own bid to re-elect Trump.
have you seen biden's polls? he's going to lose. might as well replace him with someone mentally competent.
I mean in the many many elections done in the past two years around the world, we can see that incumbents aren't thriving.
In addition to that, Joe Biden isn't a popular president outside of his base and he has not been one for years now. In his youth he might have been able to go out there and win the majority of americans back over. Now when he goes out he looks exhausted, sounds confused, and continues to make gaffes only genuine true believers can look past. His campaign really is stuck running on just hoping people are too scared of Donald Trump to stay home.
And without Covid on everyone's minds, I don't think nearly as many Americans are that scared of Trump.
The US can't have a national primary that quickly.
There's two periods of voting a year, and the next is for president.
It'll be dicey to do it now.
It's ridiculous that they didn't do this before the primary.
This whole situation reflects the reality regarding where is the level of "Democracy" and "Leadership" today in the countly that is the first defender of this type of goverment... America's founding fathers would be so proud!!....................
He is too old... I appreciate this man and his work dearly... But please.... How is he supposed to last another 4 years? I am always afraid he will die on stage....
HIEEEEEKH not H. Clinton!!!!!!! Then I rather have a Trump
Why would he die when he is the only one that can govern America?
For god sake, why don't the Democrats simply hold a snap internal leadership contest...there is still time!
The Democratic National Convention is in late August. If there is an internal contest, it will happen there. One week before the second debate and two months before the election.
Not against Biden, but to be wise and offer new candidate ! Any new democrat will beat trump!
Biden probable the best president of US history, but its time to go
It would be a good idea for you to find out how the US election system works. Biden stepping down now means he wouldn't even be on the ballot in all 50 states. It's a recipe for fascism to win here, and that will not be a good thing for Europe.
Also look up what happened at the 1968 Democratic Convention and the result of that. We don't need a repeat.
The overwhelming majority of people who want him to step down would still vote for him in the election, but I think they're right in thinking that he really should step down, and that there are other candidates who will have a better chance to win over the "swing voters".
Kamila Harris unpopular
The voices should go away and let Biden carry his own cross.
Inadequacy
Plain and simple
Another classic "Old sick man refuses to give handle power" moment
Let's go, Brandon!
Democrats will lose not because Biden is old but because they are not unified. At this time, they should unite and support him. Of course, old people need more support, but this should not be a problem. On the contrary, it's impossible to support a liar.
Go Biden, go...only with you in the game Trump can win🎉😅
Who's clooney😂
A Democrat party money man.
Biden just introduced Zelensky as President Putin. And this channel is censoring that.😂
Pushing an memory issue elder. May be Democratic already give up the election.
Both candidates are too old and needs to stay home with nurses ⛑️.
As long as it is not Trump its all good for me ....
Haha.. how could be a president even he speek , he's wrong..
Long live the allies
Vain old man without self insight.
smart candidate would be Michigan governor
Whitmer is smart enough to understand the system here to understand it would be more likely to give Trump the reins of power again.
That's why she came out and publicly said she is backing Biden and sees no reason for him to step down.
She's a smart cookie.
Pressure grows as Russia is still waging in the Ukraine. Made possible by NATO countries.
Without North Korea and Iran, Putin would be on his knees, begging and crying. 🤣
So what is your point?
@@13BulliTswhat wre friends for anyway
Popular movie story of recent past -- title: Grumpy Old Men.
Now playing on broadcast journalism is Stubborn Old Man, Biden.
George Clooney for President!!
Biden became even stronger after that debate with Trump because what doesn't destroy you makes you stronger.
Yeah… not in this case 😅
Jesus loves Donald Trump.
