During a House Democrats meeting, Texas Rep. Marc Veasey voiced deep concerns about President Joe Biden potentially remaining the Democratic nominee for the 2024 election. Veasey stated that he believes Biden may not be the strongest candidate and that it could be 'awkward' if he continues as the nominee.
Veasey highlighted that his worries are not just personal but are shared by both the American public and the Democratic community. He expressed doubts about Biden's ability to recover from what he described as a 'disastrous debate performance'.
Encouraging Democratic lawmakers facing tough reelection battles, Veasey emphasized the importance of doing whatever is necessary to secure victory. He suggested that distancing themselves from Biden, if needed, could be a strategy to retain their seats and help the party regain the majority.
Veasey also critiqued the efforts made by the Biden team to address the fallout from the debate, stating that he has not seen sufficient progress to change his opinion. He reiterated his belief that Biden's candidacy may not be viable moving forward.
As the political landscape continues to evolve, Veasey's remarks underscore the internal discussions within the Democratic Party regarding the upcoming election cycle and the potential impact of Biden's candidacy.
