Joe Biden’s Family Allegedly Having Private Discussions About His Exit From Presidential Campaign

According to NBC News, members of Joe Biden’s family have privately discussed what his exit from the 2024 presidential election would look like.

“The overall tone of the conversations has been that any exit plan — should Biden decide to take that step, as some of his closest allies increasingly believe he will — should put the party in the best position to beat former President Donald Trump,” the outlet wrote.

NBC News cited two anonymous people allegedly familiar with the discussions.

The Biden team denied the family is having exit discussions.

Per NBC News:

Biden’s family members have specifically discussed how he would want to end his re-election bid on his own timing and with a carefully calculated plan in place. Considerations about the impact of the campaign on his health, his family and the stability of the country are among those at the forefront of the discussions, the people familiar with those discussions said.

The prospect of Biden’s considering stepping aside, much less that his family is gaming out a possible exit plan, is an extraordinary development that comes after he has repeatedly said he would not relinquish his position as the presumptive nominee of the party.

But concerns have mounted among party leaders, donors and even officials who are part of his re-election effort with every day that has passed since a devastating debate three weeks ago. At the same time, Democrats are watching Republicans rally around Trump, who just survived an assassination attempt and accepted his party’s nomination Thursday night.

“That is not happening, period,” White House spokesman Andrew Bates said, according to the outlet.

“The individuals making those claims are not speaking for his family or his team — and they will be proven wrong. Keep the faith,” he added.

The alleged conversations follow rumors of Biden agreeing to withdraw from the presidential election.

According to political analyst Mark Halperin, Biden may drop out this weekend.

From the New York Post:

Privately, the family — including first lady Jill Biden, first son Hunter and sister Valerie Owens — feels disrespected by people they had considered friends in the Democratic establishment.

“There was a much more dignified way to do this if this is what they wanted,” one Biden insider told the outlet. “This is no way to treat a public servant who has done a lot for this country.”

Publicly, neither the White House nor the president’s campaign has given an indication that the re-election effort could be abandoned.

Meanwhile, more congressional Democrats publicly called on Biden to step aside.

The list of Capitol Hill Democrats urging Biden to drop out of the election has surpassed 30.
