Former Obama senior adviser David Axelrod has publicly called for President Joe Biden to step aside from the 2024 race, citing concerns over Biden's age and performance.

In an op-ed for CNN, Axelrod emphasised that he believes Biden's duty to the country should prompt him to withdraw, suggesting that failing to do so could overshadow his legacy. Axelrod's stance underscores growing pressures within the White House following Biden's lacklustre showing in a recent CNN presidential debate.
