Joe Biden Says ‘They’re Forcing Me Out’ as Senator's Ouster Plot Revealed
President Joe Biden told a rally in Wisconsin Friday that “they’re trying to force me out of the 2024 race”–at exactly the time that an ouster plot led by a Senate heavyweight was revealed.
The president traveled to Madison to address supporters in an energetic and largely gaffe-free speech, telling the crowd, “some folks don’t seem to care who you voted for. Well, guess what, they’re trying to push me out of the race.”
As he spoke, the Washington Post disclosed that Mark Warner, the Democratic senior senator from Virginia, is rallying support among other senators to go to Biden on Monday and ask him to quit the race–casting light on who Biden’s “they” might be. Warner is vice chair of the Senate Democratic Caucus and a centrist who had previously been a Biden loyalist.
