As worries about Biden in 2024 grow, other Democrats aren't stepping forward to challenge him
CNN
A challenge requires a challenger -- and all the Democrats being discussed as potential primary opponents to President Joe Biden tell CNN they're ruling out runs and warning others to follow suit.
The chatter is fed by Democratic officials and party leaders who have begun to doubt that Biden is, as he's insisted privately to donors and others, their strongest candidate to beat Donald Trump -- or another GOP candidate -- in 2024. And it's being propelled even more by the 79-year-old President's age, which has prompted questions about what kind of campaign schedule he'd be able to keep up.
Fear runs deep of yet another unfavorable Biden comparison to Jimmy Carter, who survived a 1980 primary challenge from Ted Kennedy but not the lasting wound going into the general election. Democrats privately hoping Biden might reverse course and not run are petrified that they're backbiting their way into allowing Trump and Trumpism back into power.

A federal judge on Friday blocked President Donald Trump’s administration from enforcing most of his executive order on elections against the vote-by-mail states Washington and Oregon, in the latest blow to Trump’s efforts to require documentary proof of citizenship to vote and to require that all ballots be received by Election Day.

A Border Patrol agent shot two people in Portland, Oregon, during a traffic stop after authorities said they were associated with a Venezuelan gang, another incident in a string of confrontations with federal authorities that have left Americans frustrated with immigration enforcement during the Trump administration.
