According to Democratic staffers, volunteers for Joe Biden's 2024 campaign are withdrawing in droves, mostly because they are angry at Biden's failure to call a ceasefire in Israel.
Democrats are in a very difficult position on this issue. Opinion polls show that most Americans support Israel, but the far-left base of the Democratic Party is largely anti-Israel, so Biden is stuck between a rock and a hard place.
There are a lot of things to dislike about the Biden presidency, but this is the issue the far left is losing its mind on.
Newsweek reports:
Joe Biden campaign volunteers are quitting in droves
A group of staffers for President Joe Biden's re-election campaign have warned the president that his volunteers are withdrawing “in droves” over his handling of Israel's military response in the Gaza Strip.
Biden has faced enormous pressure from members of his own party over US policies in light of Hamas' surprise attacks on Israel on October 7, which killed about 1,200 people and took nearly 240 hostage, including some Americans. In response, Israel launched a massive air and ground assault on Gaza, killing nearly 22,000 Palestinians over the past few weeks, according to Gaza health officials cited by the Associated Press.
In a letter posted Wednesday on Medium, an anonymous group of Biden campaign workers called on the president to call for a ceasefire in Gaza, citing concerns that not changing his policy on the issue could hurt his chances in the 2024 election.
“Biden’s presidential staff has seen volunteers drop out in droves, and people who have voted blue for decades feel uncertain about doing so for the first time ever, because of this conflict,” Medium’s message said.
The campaign participants continued: “It is not enough to be merely an alternative to Donald Trump.”
Even some people who are paid quit because of this.
Another Biden official resigns over Israel's war on terrorism.

The left is all that remains for Biden. If they give up on him in 2024, he's toast.
