During a phone-in interview on MSNBC's "Morning Joe," President Biden voiced his determination to remain in the 2024 race despite growing pressure from some within the Democratic Party urging him to step aside. Biden targeted party elites who he believes are trying to influence his decision, challenging them to run against him if they believe he shouldn't seek re-election.

Some media observers and critics sympathetic to Biden are skeptical of his defiance towards party doubters, questioning his ability to secure the nomination amid concerns about his age and health. Despite criticism from liberal newspapers and media allies, Biden is dismissive of their opinions, insisting on his candidacy and highlighting his appeal to the party's base while portraying his critics as out of touch. Biden's political strategy seems to be positioning himself as a populist figure fighting against the party establishment, drawing comparisons to Trump's anti-establishment rhetoric.
