CNN anchor Jake Tapper compared President Joe Biden to a movie character who is oblivious to the fact that he is dead.

Tapper made the comparison on Thursday as voices from within the Democratic Party grow louder and louder, calling for Biden to exit the 2024 campaign — and reports have begun to circulate that he could agree to step aside in the coming days.

Biden’s team, in contrast, has insisted that he plans to stay in the race and is the only one who could potentially beat former President Trump in a second head-to-head match-up. That, said Tapper, was what made Biden similar to “The Sixth Sense” main character Malcolm Crowe. Crowe, played in the 1999 M. Night Shyamalan thriller by actor Bruce Willis, is a psychologist who does not realize until the end of the film that he is actually dead.

“Meanwhile, events no less momentous are playing out in Delaware where President Biden is self-isolating after testing positive for COVID, we’re told. To hear top Democrats tell it, President Biden is like Bruce Willis’ character in the movie ‘The Sixth Sense.’ He is the only one who seems unaware of his grim fate,” Tapper explained.

“Former President Obama has told allies recently that Biden’s chances of winning have ‘greatly diminished,’ interesting choice of words,” Tapper continued, adding, “And that Biden needs to seriously consider the path forward, according to The Washington Post.”

A number of high profile Democrats — including Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY), according to a Wednesday report from ABC News — have either publicly or privately addressed the issue with Biden, saying that it would be best for the party and for the country if he would bow out of the presidential race.
