Stephen King calls on Joe Biden to withdraw

DER SPIEGEL Stephen King calls on Joe Biden to withdraw 2 minutes reading time The pressure on US President Biden not to run for re-election is increasing. Now horror author Stephen King also thinks: "It's time for him." Writer Stephen King is considered a sharp critic of former President Donald Trump. For example, he called the former incumbent the "Worst. President. Ever." and recently warned of a "fascist state" that Trump's allies were planning. The Supreme Court's decision on the immunity of US presidents has paved the way for this. The best-selling author's concern about Trump taking power is suggested by another statement he made with regard to the disastrous performance of incumbent President Joe Biden in the TV debate. Joe Biden was "a good president," King wrote on the X platform. "But now it's time for him." The writer went on to say that Biden must announce that he will not run for re-election. "In the interest of America, which he so clearly loves." Joe Biden is now facing pressure from various directions: the first voices have already been raised in his own party asking him not to run again, and there is also evident unrest among major donors. If more and more stars and public figures such as Stephen King speak out against Biden running again, this could pose another problem for him. Many people are apparently too worried about a US President Trump - and that Biden may not be able to beat him.
