King has long been outspoken in his opposition to Donald Trump.
Stephen King has added his name to the list of prominent figures who have called for the president Joe Biden drop out of the 2024 presidential race.
“Joe Biden has been a great president, but it’s time for him — for the benefit of the America he clearly loves — to announce that he will not be running for re-election,” King wrote on X (formerly Twitter) this morning.
King has long been vocal about his opposition to Donald Trumpand on Sunday he wrote that “the French right is falling out of favour despite the polls. Let us hope the same happens to Trump and his cronies who bury their heads in the sand.”
But their concerns about Biden, following his dismal performance in the June 27 debate, reflect anxiety in the Democratic Party and among longtime donors and supporters that the president could defeat his predecessor in November.
Entertainment personalities call for Biden to step aside
On Sunday, the director Rob Reiner called on Biden to drop out of the race. Major donors and industry supporters, the screenwriter Damon Lindelof and Reed Hastings (with founder of Netflix), also want the president to step aside.
Biden called into Morning Joe this morning and insisted he would stay, claiming that calls for him to step down are coming from party elites, comparing them to the enthusiastic crowds he has been receiving on the campaign trail.
