"He's not Trump, right?" she continued. Reid also stated that she doesn't "even really particularly like" Biden or a significant amount of "his policy," The Hill reported.

House Democrats urge Joe Biden to drop from 2024 race
Biden's disastrous debate performance has his campaign, allies, White House staff, and inner circle rattled.
Pressure has been mounting as at least three House Democrats have publically asked Biden to step down and give a chance to a new face.
Representative Seth Moulton (D-Mass) the third of the House Democrats was the latest person to urge Biden to step aside.
He appeared on Boston-area radio station WBUR on Thursday, July 4, saying, "Biden has done enormous service to our country, but now is the time for him to follow in one of our founding fathers, George Washington's, footsteps and step aside to let new leaders rise up and run against Trump."
Two other House Democrats who have echoed this sentiment suggesting Biden should back out of the 2024 race are Representatives Lloyd Doggett (D-Texas) and Raul Grijalva (D-Ariz).
On Thursday, July 4, Representative Scott Peters (D-Calif) criticized Joe Biden's campaign, calling it "arrogant" after the president's faltering debate performance last week.
“We needed a boost from Thursday. We didn’t get it. And the campaign has been very, I think, arrogant in their response," he said.
