White House spokesperson Andrew Bates has firmly denied recent reports suggesting that President Biden may be considering exiting the 2024 race. Responding to claims that Biden's family has been discussing his potential withdrawal from the race, Bates straightforwardly refuted the rumors, stating, 'Wrong. Keep the faith.'
Furthermore, Bates dismissed speculation about a forthcoming 'major announcement' from Biden, simply responding with a resolute 'No' to such suggestions.
Bates has adopted a direct approach in addressing the surge of reports hinting at Biden's possible withdrawal from the race. He has also taken issue with journalists who allegedly failed to seek comment from the White House before publishing these stories.
In a separate post, Bates acknowledged the majority of reporters for their diligence in reaching out for comments but reminded those who did not that it is their responsibility to do so before publishing. He emphasized the importance of accurate reporting and the need for journalists to verify information with official sources.
These ongoing reports regarding Biden's candidacy for the 2024 presidential election coincide with calls from 23 Congressional Democrats urging him to step down from the race. The most recent call for Biden to drop out came on Friday morning, adding to the growing pressure on the President's political future.
