Summary

A summary of the key points of this story verified across multiple sources.

After significant electoral losses, President Biden has largely remained silent, leading some, including pollster Nate Silver, to question his fitness for office and suggest he resign to enable Vice President Kamala Harris to take over. Critics highlight his lack of engagement with the media and the public, as well as a perceived failure to address important global issues during a recent trip to South America. Biden's seeming reticence may be contributing to a narrative of irrelevance as a new generation of leaders is viewed as necessary for shaping the party's future.
