Democrat push to replace Biden is 'over' after Trump assassination attempt, president's allies say: report
Allies of President Biden are hoping that the assassination attempt against President Trump will end the effort to replace Biden as the Democrats' nominee.
The effort to replace President Biden as the Democratic Party's 2024 nominee has lost all momentum and is essentially "over" following the assassination attempt against former President Trump, allies of the president say, according to a new report.
A steady stream of Democratic lawmakers and top donors had called on Biden to drop out of the race throughout last week and the weekend. Allies of Biden now say Trump's attempted slaying has taken the wind from the sails of Biden's critics.
