‘Top democrats’ would feel ‘relief’ if Biden steps down from 2024 election, NBC’s Kristen Welker says
Some “top Democrats” would be relieved if President BIden stepped off the ticket for the upcoming presidential election, “Meet the Press” moderator Kristen Welker said.
High-up Dems “say there would actually be relief if [Biden] were to step down,” Welker told MSNBC’s Andrea Mitchell on Monday.

Biden, 81, sent his supporters into a panic last week with his fumbling, confused performance during the debate against Republican frontrunner Donald Trump.
If Biden moved aside, Welker explained, powerful Democrats would look to “reintroduce” Vice President Kamala Harris as she moved to the top of the ticket.
