Rep. Ro Khanna of California, a leading progressive Democrat, said Monday that centrist Democrats could pose the biggest political threat to President Joe Biden in the 2024 presidential primary race, one day after Sen. Joe Manchin of West Virginia did not rule out a possible White House bid.
"I don't rule it out," he said of a primary challenge to Mr. Biden from a business-friendly Democrat."I think [Biden] would win decisively against such a challenge and it would be unfortunate. But you know, I don't rule it out." Should the president decide not to seek reelection, Khanna said independent Sen. Bernie Sanders, of Vermont, who caucuses with the Democrats in the Senate, might jump into the 2024 race for a third White House bid.Khanna added,"He's been championing 'Medicare for all,' free public college, a livable wage, and childcare for everyone. Of course, I think he would look at it. And he was almost the nominee last time.
"I haven't decided on anything I'm going to do until I see the lay of the land is going to be at that time," Manchin said. Khanna told CBS News that he believes Mr. Biden has"handled this with character" and is fully cooperating with investigators.
