2024 election live updates: Biden says he is 'looking forward to getting back on campaign trail'

Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has privately told some House Democrats she believes President Biden is more receptive to hearing calls for him to step aside and that those conversations could push him to make a decision soon, according to two people familiar with the conversations.

Biden, however, has publicly insisted he has already made his decision and it is to stay in the race.

This comes as a slew of top Democratic leaders have come out to publicly ask the President to not run for re-election.

Sen. Jon Tester, D-Mont., called on President Joe Biden not to seek another term in a statement Thursday, saying, "I've never been afraid to stand up to him when he is wrong."

"While I appreciate his commitment to public service and our country, I believe President Biden should not seek re-election to another term," Tester said.
