President Joe Biden on Monday offered a feisty challenge to Democratic politicians and donors who want him to drop out of the 2024 race.
"I'm getting so frustrated by the elites, now I'm not talking about you guys," Biden said during a call into MSNBC's "Morning Joe." "But by elites in the party, who they know so much more, if any of these guys don't think I should run, run against me. Announce for president. Challenge me at the convention."
