Should Joe Biden Step Down?
Here’s The Scoop
In a striking turn of events, comedian Jon Stewart has voiced his concerns regarding President Joe Biden’s determination to run for re-election in 2024. This sentiment follows Biden’s less-than-stellar performance at the first presidential debate against Donald Trump on June 27, which has led to increased calls for him to step aside for the sake of the Democratic Party.
Biden, seemingly unfazed, issued a letter to congressional Democrats attempting to rally them behind his campaign. He stressed the importance of unity and the need to defeat Trump, dismissing any notion of stepping down as detrimental to their cause.
“It’s time to come together, move forward as a unified party, and defeat Donald Trump,” Biden wrote.
However, Stewart wasn’t swayed by Biden’s appeal for solidarity. On Monday’s episode of his show, Stewart criticized the administration’s narrative as insincere, calling out Biden’s nonchalant attitude towards what should be a dire situation.
“Even bringing up these absolutely legitimate concerns about the president’s ability… is enabling fascism,” Stewart noted sarcastically, highlighting the absurdity of Biden’s dismissive stance.
Further illustrating his point, Stewart referenced Biden’s recent interview with George Stephanopoulos.
When asked about his reaction should he lose to Trump, Biden responded, “As long as I gave it my all and did as good of a job as I know I can do, that’s what this is about.”
Stewart vehemently disagreed, exclaiming, “There are no participation trophies in endgame democracy.”
Stewart’s critique underscores a broader issue: the Democratic establishment’s reluctance to address Biden’s apparent vulnerabilities. By neglecting these concerns, they risk undermining voter confidence and faith in their leadership. Stewart’s call for a contested convention next month suggests that Democrats need to explore other potential candidates who can offer genuine leadership and inspiration.
There’s a palpable frustration among Americans seeking a shift from the old guard to a more dynamic and responsive governance. Stewart’s remarks resonate with those feeling disenchanted by the seemingly unresponsive status quo. In his eyes, the Democratic Party has an opportunity to invigorate its base and present a candidate who can truly serve the people’s needs, rather than clinging to a faltering bid.
As Stewart puts it, the upcoming Democratic Convention should be a platform where potential leaders can present their vision for a more responsive democracy. The party must decide: will they blindly support a faltering candidate, or will they seize this chance to showcase robust, fresh leadership? The stakes couldn’t be higher.

He should for the sake of the USA till January, however though Trump will be back in the White House in January no matter what, it more than likely won’t be the landslide like against Joke Biden.

I’ve never been a fan of Biden. But I do believe that this situation should be treated more respectfully- his family should care more about his mental state … he displays the exact same symptoms of my mother who recently died from Dementia/ Alzheimer!
He should NOT be in office.
I’m voting for Trump… is he perfect? NO!
But I cannot turn a blind eye to the good that he did while in office!

This is not true. It is Trump they don’t want in as president.

I say he should stay in. Being a veteran who served this country honorably, I am sickened by what he and his evil cronies have done to this Nation, but I also look at what else the dimwits could choose from. He has campaigned for this office his entire criminal history, and they cheated to get him in. They have lied and covered up all his fuckups, and intentionally hurt us all, all while lying about Trump. I know that they cheated the last time, and this time, I want to see him BURIED in humiliation at the voting booth!!

No, if he steps down we will be stuck with Harris, and then with another vice president as bad or worse than them.

He really don’t need to step down, he never stepped up to begin with.
