Hickenlooper Weighs in on Biden's Decision to Stay in Presidential Race

Senator John Hickenlooper discussed U.S. President Joe Biden's decision regarding the 2024 presidential race amid growing calls from Democrats for him to step aside. Despite acknowledging Biden's esteemed legacy, Hickenlooper noted increasing sentiment among voters that Biden should not run for re-election, emphasizing a shift in party unity.

Senator John Hickenlooper has spoken about U.S. President Joe Biden's contemplation of whether to continue his presidential campaign for the 2024 election. According to Hickenlooper, there is considerable sadness among Democrats regarding the president, although he stopped short of explicitly advising Biden to step aside in favor of another candidate.

Hickenlooper, a contender in the 2020 Democratic presidential nominations, pointed out the mounting evidence that it might be beneficial for Biden to withdraw. He expressed confidence that Biden, who has consistently prioritized the nation's interests, would make the best decision for America. "Joe Biden has always put the country first. He's working towards that," Hickenlooper noted in a telephone interview on Wednesday.

A wave of dissatisfaction and unease among Democratic voters appears to be a major concern. Hickenlooper revealed that his constituents in Colorado hint that an overwhelming number prefer Biden stepping aside. Despite Biden's highly respected status and almost four-decade-long Senate career, many feel the landscape has changed considerably since his last election.
