As we approach the critical 2024 election, President Biden must remain in the race despite his recent debate performance and cries from too many media sources calling for him to stand aside.

Media pundits are obsessed with Biden’s debate performance while ignoring Trump’s inexhaustible penchant for lying, numerous lawsuit losses and authoritarian tendencies.

In sharp contrast, Biden’s tenure has been marked by significant achievements: navigating the nation through a pandemic, shepherding an historic infrastructure bill and overseeing an economic recovery that has laid the foundation for steady and stable growth in the years to come. These accomplishments reflect the experienced leadership America needs.

Alternative democratic candidates to Biden present a risk, and some might say a near certainty, of a loss in November. Democratic unity is paramount, and a change at this juncture could fracture the coalition that has been painstakingly built.

Biden’s experience, both domestically and internationally, provides a stark contrast to the chaotic, unpredictability of Trump and his MAGA cult followers. The Biden administration’s policies on climate change, healthcare, and social justice resonate with the majority of Americans.

Continuity in leadership is essential. President Biden has proven his capability to guide the nation.

For the sake of continued progress and stability, he must remain the Democratic nominee.
