Political analysts react to Bidens announcement [Video]

MINNEAPOLIS — Hours after President Biden announced he was withdrawing from the 2024 presidential election, political analysts began discerning what the decision will mean for both the campaign and Minnesotans.

Kathryn Pearson, Associate Professor of Political Science at the University of Minnesota, and Brian McClung, of McClung Communications & Public Relations, both recognized the developments as the recharge Democrats needed in the campaign.

The two also agreed that Democrats need to act quickly to best compete with former President Donald Trump. They also noted that while Gov. Tim Walz may be on a “long, short list” of potential vice-presidential candidates, Sen. Amy Klobuchar would definitely continue to prominently represent the party.
