Polling guru floats the idea of Biden dropping out: At some point 'continuing to run is a bigger risk'
SUMMARY
Nate Silver, founder of FiveThirtyEight, suggested on Monday that President Biden's latest disapproval ratings might warrant his withdrawal from the 2024 presidential election. Citing Biden's new all-time low approval rating of 37.4% on FiveThirtyEight, Silver questioned if continuing to run poses a greater risk than dropping out. He argued that Democrats would have benefited from Biden stepping aside a year ago to allow for a primary process. Silver also criticized both Biden and Trump, suggesting they should both drop out due to significant challenges. Recent polls show Biden and Trump tied in Virginia, a state Biden won by 10 points in 2020.
