Two prominent Democrats refused to say Sunday if President Biden should seek reelection, underscoring increasing ambivalence within the party about the 79-year-old’s role in 2024.
Both Sen. Richard Blumenthal, Connecticut Democrat, and Stacey Abrams, Democratic candidate for governor of Georgia, skirted directly answering in separate interviews on CNN’s “State of the Union” whether they want Mr. Biden to give it another go. The Democrats said their focus is on the upcoming November midterms.
“If he chooses to run again, I’m there to support him,” Ms. Abrams said. “I’m going to tell him to do his best job and that, right now, our focus has to be on what’s happening.
