Legendary actor and longtime Biden supporter Michael Douglas has voiced his concerns about the president's chances of winning re-election in 2024. In an interview on ABC's "The View," Douglas acknowledged the mounting pressure on Biden to reconsider his campaign, especially after his perceived lackluster performance in the recent debate.

Douglas expressed admiration for Biden's political accomplishments and described his career in glowing terms. However, he questioned whether the president is up to the demands of another term, considering his advanced age and the crucial nature of the upcoming election.
"This just happens to be one of these elections that is just so crucial, and it's really hard. I mean, the Democrats have a big bench," Douglas said, implying that there are other qualified candidates within the party.

Douglas's comments echo the growing unease among some Democratic leaders and major donors over Biden's fitness for re-election. Actor George Clooney recently penned an opinion piece in the New York Times, urging Biden to step aside. Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has also expressed hesitations about the president's ability to win.
During the "View" interview, Douglas admitted that Biden's age is not a major concern for him currently but acknowledged that it could become a factor as the campaign progresses.
"I don’t worry necessarily today or tomorrow, but a year down the line, I worry. I am concerned," he said.
Douglas's remarks come amidst a flurry of calls from Democratic politicians for Biden to reconsider his campaign. Senator Michael Bennet of Colorado told CNN that he believes Biden could lose to former President Trump in a "landslide." Several House Democrats have openly called on the president to step aside.
Despite these concerns, Biden has repeatedly stated his intention to run for re-election. Douglas's comments highlight the growing uncertainty within the Democratic Party about the president's ability to lead the country for another term. As the election draws closer, the pressure on Biden to prove his fitness for office will continue to intensify.
