U.S. President Joe Biden is facing heightened doubts about his re-election chances, with influential figures like Nancy Pelosi and George Clooney voicing concerns. Pelosi, a stalwart Biden ally and former House Speaker, suggested he reconsider his 2024 bid while speaking on MSNBC. She refrained from explicitly endorsing his run.

Adding to the pressure, Hollywood star and Democrat George Clooney withdrew his support, penning a critical opinion piece in the New York Times. Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer has also privately indicated openness to an alternative Democratic candidate, according to reports from Axios.

Several Senate Democrats are expected to express their reservations in a forthcoming meeting with Biden, amid mounting pressure from within the party to reevaluate his candidacy. Biden, however, remains resolute, insisting he is the best choice to defeat Republican contender Donald Trump in the upcoming election.
