Biden campaign, White House deny report Biden discussing with family exit plan from 2024 race

The White House and the Biden campaign on Friday denied a news report that President Biden is having discussions with family members about a possible exit plan from the 2024 presidential race against GOP nominee Donald Trump.

"That is not happening, period," said White House spokesperson Andrew Bates. "The individuals making those claims are not speaking for his family or his team – and they will be proven wrong. Keep the faith."

Members of Biden’s family have discussed what an exit from his campaign might look like, based on two people familiar with the discussions, reported NBC News.

Jen O’Malley Dillon, Biden's re-election campaign chair, said on Friday that Biden isn’t leaving the race and he has "multiple pathways to victory" in November.

"Absolutely the president is in this race, you've heard him say that time and time again," she said on MSNBC. "He is the best person to take on Donald Trump."

Dillon said the campaign has "seen some slippage in support, but it has been a small movement."
