In a resolute display of unity, prominent figures from the Congressional Black Caucus have unequivocally thrown their weight behind President Biden amid escalating demands within Democratic ranks for him to abandon his 2024 reelection bid. Rep. Frederica Wilson (D-Fla.) launched a vehement defense against detractors, asserting that calls for Biden's withdrawal are not only misguided but detrimental to the leadership that has tangibly advanced the nation's interests. "Leaders clamoring for President Biden's exit lack focus on priorities and fail to recognize the achievements of a president who has steadfastly delivered tangible benefits across our nation," Wilson stated emphatically. She further contrasted Biden's leadership with Donald Trump's tenure, painting Trump as a radical figure whose agenda threatens the very fabric of American democracy.
Wilson didn't mince words in her condemnation of Project 2025, a conservative blueprint she termed as an insidious strategy poised to dismantle U.S. democratic values. "Democrats ought to disregard political punditry and concentrate on safeguarding our democracy this election cycle," she added, signaling her unwavering support for the Biden-Harris ticket as America's best hope against such threats.
Echoing Wilson’s sentiments, Rep. James E. Clyburn (D-S.C.), a distinguished ally of Biden within the African American community and Congress, reiterated his endorsement of the current administration. He mentioned his readiness to support Vice President Harris should there be an unprecedented turn of events leading to Biden’s withdrawal.
Amidst internal criticisms following what was perceived as an underwhelming debate performance by Biden last month, five House Democrats have openly suggested he should pause his campaign efforts. However, Biden remains resolute in his quest for reelection.
The discourse around potential alienation of Black voters due to intra-party conflicts gains momentum, given their pivotal role in securing Biden’s victory in 2020. Rep. Maxine Waters (D-Calif.) passionately defended Biden at the Essence Festival, acknowledging his debate shortcomings while lauding his resilience and improving public engagements. Addressing concerns about Biden’s age versus Trump’s character flaws, Waters affirmed there is no alternative Democratic contender besides Biden.
Rep. Joyce Beatty (D-Ohio), former chairperson of the Congressional Black Caucus, also expressed full support for President Biden during an MSNBC interview on “Morning Joe,” praising the administration’s dedication to safeguarding freedom and democracy.
In light of growing critiques from within Democratic ranks about President Biden’s candidacy for re-election, former Rep. Cedric Richmond (D-La.) highlighted an interesting demographic observation: most critics are white Democrats—a point that underscores potential risks in alienating core supporters by withdrawing backing for President Biden amidst these crucial times.

She has a complete meltdown as she says that she’s “older than Joe Biden” but still gets up and “takes care of Black people” every single day.
She then launches into a tirade on Trump… pic.twitter.com/sHuUYqEkx2
