Washington: The White House announced that US President Joe Biden intends to run for a second term in the 2024 elections.
Commenting on a new poll showing that 75 percent of Democratic voters want the party to nominate someone other than Joe Biden as the nominee, White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said "we're not worried about polls.
The President has said has been clear that he intends to run. But we are so far away from that time from, you know, even being close to to be thinking about that." Twenty-five percent of Democratic voters said they prefer Biden as the nominee.
The CNN poll which was conducted by SSRS shows a sharp downturn in enthusiasm for a 2024 reelection bid by the President.
In January/February, 51% of Democratic and Democratic-leaning voters said they wanted someone other than Biden to be the Democratic nominee in the next elections.
Biden's support rate fell amid inflation that has risen to 40-year highs and left millions of Americans struggling with high prices of essentials.
