Only 25 percent of Democratic voters want to see Biden run for another term, according to a recent CNN poll.
This represented a drop of 25 points from this past January when nearly half of Democrats said they would vote for Biden again.
Twenty-four percent of those asked between the period July 22-24 say they want someone else on the ballot, mainly out of fear that the current U.S. President cannot win in 2024.
Biden had the third longest odds at +525 after co-favorites Donald Trump and Ron DeSantis at 3-1 odds.
While he says he plans on running, there is speculation that Biden will not seek a second term due to his age. He will be 82 to start his second term should he be re-elected.
Jan 6 Committee Deposition of Pompeo Could Happen This Week
One of the highest senior cabinet members of the Trump Administration so far is set to speak to the January 6 Committee on the Capitol Insurection as soon as this week, according to reports.
A source connected to the committee's investigation told CNN they are particularly interested in conversations surrounding the 25th Amendment after the events of January 6.
This does not bode well for Trump, whose indictment odds got slashed in half since late last week.
Cassidy Hutchinson, a former top aide to Trump White House chief of staff Mark Meadows, had previoiusly testified that Pompeo called her boss on Jan. 6 to alert him that the Cabinet was contemplating invoking the 25th Amendment on Trump as a means to remove him from office.
Former Republicans and Democrats Form New third U.S. Political Party
Reuters is reporting that former Democrats and Republicans are getting ready to form a third political party ahead of the 2024 Presidential elections.
The new party, called Forward and whose creation was first reported by Reuters, will initially be co-chaired by former Democratic presidential candidate Andrew Yang and Christine Todd Whitman, the former Republican governor of New Jersey.
Party leaders will hold a series of events in two dozen cities this autumn to roll out its platform and attract support. They will host an official launch in Houston on Sept. 24 and the party's first national convention in a major U.S. city next summer.
The leaders cited a Gallup poll last year showing a record two-thirds of Americans believe a third party is needed.
The party, which is centrist, has no specific policies yet.
