Dozens of voters in four battleground states told the New York Times that they no longer believe he can defeat former President Trump in the 2024 election.
In 80 interviews at Independence Day celebrations, pie-eating contests and political events across Arizona, Michigan, Wisconsin and North Carolina, more than half of voters who backed Biden in 2020 said he should now drop out of the race following his disastrous debate performance against Trump.
About a quarter of those interviewed said he should stay in, and the rest were unsure, according to the Times.
"He should exit the race," said Gerry Ford, a 72-year-old engineer from Wauwatosa, Wisc. "The sooner the better."
