President Biden faced new pressure to abandon his campaign for re-election, with two sources telling NBC News that former President Obama has 'concerns' about Mr. Biden's ability to remain at the top of the ticket. The White House and the Biden campaign are publicly pushing back on Democratic leaders trying to push the president out.
Sen. Jon Tester of Montana became the second Democratic senator to call for President Joe Biden to bow out of the presidential race Thursday. 'While I appreciate his commitment to public service and our country, I believe President Biden should not seek re-election to another term,' Tester said in a statement. Tester is running for re-election in one of the most vulnerable Senate seats for Democrats this fall.
' Representing a red state, Tester has criticized the president before, including over the timing of his border policies and his Environmental Protection Agency regulations. When reached for comment, the Biden campaign pointed to remarks from Cedric Richmond, co-chair of Biden’s re-election campaign, who reacted to the news during an interview on MSNBC. “I like Senator Tester. I think he’s one of our great fighters in the Democratic Party,' Richmond said.
