President Joe Biden declared his intention to run for re-election at a Michigan rally, countering internal party calls for him to step aside. Criticizing former President Donald Trump, Biden stated, “I’m the only Democrat or Republican who has beaten Donald Trump ever. And I’m going to beat him again.” Despite recent debates and a poll showing an unchanged race, Biden expressed confidence in his candidacy, emphasizing the need to combat the “right-wing Project 2025.” Democratic lawmakers continue to urge Biden to reconsider, with 21 House Democrats and Senator Peter Welch voicing concerns.
