US President Joe Biden faces growing pressure to withdraw from the 2024 race due to concerns about his mental health and age. Despite criticism from political figures and Hollywood supporters, Biden remains determined to defeat Donald Trump.

US President Joe Biden is facing mounting pressure from various quarters to withdraw from the 2024 presidential race, but he remains resolute in his decision to run for a second term. Despite a series of public gaffes and increasing concerns about his mental health, Biden has assured his supporters that he is in good condition and capable of defeating his rival, Donald Trump.

Biden's campaign has been marred by a series of lapses, including referring to his vice president, Kamala Harris, as 'Vice President Trump' and mistakenly introducing Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky as Russian President Vladimir Putin. These errors have fueled concerns about his competency, leading to calls from within his own party for him to step down.

More than 20 former Democratic members of Congress have publicly urged Biden to hold an open conference and allow other candidates to present their nominations. They argue that Biden would best serve the nation by giving free rein to delegates who are supposed to nominate him for a second term.

Biden has faced criticism not only from political figures but also from influential Hollywood supporters. George Clooney, a major Democratic donor, has called on Biden to drop out of the race, citing concerns about his age and health. Clooney's comments have added to the growing pressure on Biden, who has relied heavily on Hollywood for fundraising and support.

Despite the criticism, Biden remains steadfast in his decision to run. He has emphasized his qualifications and experience, stating that he is the 'most qualified' person to run for president and defeat Trump. Biden has also pointed to his neurological exams as evidence of his good health and mental fitness.

Biden's campaign spokesman, Michael Tyler, has reiterated that the president is focused on showing that he is in the best position to confront and defeat Trump in the upcoming election. However, the erosion of support from Hollywood and the increasing calls for his withdrawal present significant challenges for Biden as he seeks to secure a second term.
