Biden's tumble on stage stokes Democrats' thinking about 2024 backup plan -
Democratic powerbrokers rallied behind the 80-year-old early on in a public show of force, dismissing concerns about his age and downplaying the need for a backup plan in the hopes of unifying the party and providing a contrast to the brewing battle for the 2024 Republican presidential nomination.
Most of the crowd turned their attention to Mr. Biden sprawled across the stage as graduates tossed their caps skyward and Thunderbirds roared overhead. “If they are not doing that, they are not being smart,” Mr. Duilo said. “Of all the names we could come up with — they are high-profile, successful candidates and politicians — none of them got to that point without thinking strategically and being prepared when an opportunity comes their way.”
Gov. Gavin Newsom and Rep. Ro Khanna, another pair of Californians, are backing Mr. Biden but also have been raising their national profiles in campaign-like fashions. The prospect of subbing out Mr. Biden is a touchy and infuriating subject for Democrats, who are eager to defend the president and say former President Trump, 76, should get the same level of scrutiny about his age.
Mr. Trump is running in a nomination race against an expanding field of presidential contenders that will test his mettle. Mr. Biden has only drawn two primary rivals from the fringes of the Democratic Party.
