A few Congressional Democrats are calling for President Biden to drop out of the 2024 presidential election following his poor performance during last month’s debate. Earlier this week, President Biden told MSNBC that he isn’t going anywhere. However, as the Democratic National Convention gets closer, more Party leaders have questioned whether he is fit for office and should be replaced on the ticket. Director of the FOX News Decision Desk, Arnon Mishkin, joins the Rundown to discuss where the Democratic Party stands and compares the calls for the President to drop out to President Lyndon B. Johnson’s decision to leave the race in 1968.

There are few things that are more American than apple pie; one of them might be the First Amendment.
