Two New York Democrats declined to say whether they would support President Biden for president in 2024 Tuesday, adding to the list of Democrats who are soft on the idea of a Biden re-election campaign.
When asked during a debate if Biden should seek re-election, Rep. Jerry Nadler, D-NY, said it’s “Too early to say. Doesn’t serve the purpose of the Democratic Party to deal with that until after the midterms.”
Rep. Carolyn Maloney, D-NY, also avoided the question: “I don’t believe he’s running for re-election,” she said.
Several other Democrats in recent weeks have either declined to endorse Biden or said he should not run. Rep. Dean Phillips, D-MN, said last week during a radio show appearance that, “The country would be well-served by a new generation of compelling, well-prepared, dynamic Democrats who step up.”
