Chuck Schumer expressed his support for Joe Biden’s re-election in 2024 during an appearance with George Stephanopolous on ABC’s This Week.

Polls show that Biden’s support among his own party is in jeopardy. A February Public Affairs Research poll found that only 37% of Democrats want Biden to seek another term compared to 52% who said the same last fall. Another ABC News poll found that only 31% of Democrats want Biden to run, while 58% want someone else.

“I want to ask you about President Biden. It seems like he’s gearing up for re-election, but our latest poll showed a majority of Democrats think he shouldn’t run again. What do you say to them?” 

“First, I like the poll that 36% of Republicans thought Reagan should run again back in 1983 and he had a landslide. Biden’s in great shape,” Schumer responded.
