Biden 'working towards' decision on 2024 race, senator says
Sen. John Hickenlooper, D-Colo., arrives for a private meeting between Senate Democrats and President Joe Biden's senior advisors Mike Donlion, Steve Richetti and campaign chair Jen O'Malley Dillon on July 11, 2024 in Washington, DC.
Sen. John Hickenlooper, D-Colo., told Reuters that President Biden is "working towards" a decision on whether he'll continue his re-election bid that is "good for the country."
"Joe Biden has always put the country first. He's done what's best for America...I think he'll keep doing so," Hickenlooper told Reuters in a phone interview late Wednesday. "He's working towards that."
The senator, a former Democratic presidential candidate in 2020 before Biden won the nomination, stopped short of joining the growing list of members of his party explicitly calling on Biden to step aside. Reuters asked Hickenlooper about Biden potentially stopping his re-election campaign.
"That's his decision to make, but certainly there's more and more indications that that would be in the best interests of the country, I think," Hickenlooper responded.
