Doubts vanish as Democrats unite over Biden’s 2024 bid: ‘He will win’

House Democrats issues' conference sees lawmakers across party's ideological spectrum embrace idea of president's re-election

With the 2024 election season already under way, Joe Biden has faced questions over whether he is best suited to represent the Democratic party at the top of the ticket next year. Surveys show that Americans fret over his age, as Biden would be 86 years old at the end of his second term.

Progressives have previously shied away from offering a full-throated endorsement of Biden's re-election bid. But those whispers quieted to near silence at House Democrats' issues conference in Baltimore, Maryland, this week. Rather than wringing their hands over the president's anticipated announcement, House Democrats from across the party's ideological spectrum embraced the idea of Biden's re-election.
