President Joe Biden is facing increasing pressure to drop out of the Democratic Party campaign for President, both from the public and within his own party. Despite calls for him to withdraw from the race due to concerns about his debate performance against former President Donald Trump, Biden has declared that no one is pushing him out and he intends to continue running for re-election. In a surprise appearance on a Democratic National Committee call, Biden gave a pep talk alongside Vice-President Kamala Harris, emphasizing the importance of the upcoming election. Efforts by the President and his team to quell anxiety over his fitness include White House chief of staff Jeff Zients urging staff to focus on governing and tune out the noise.
The New York Times editorial board has published an op-ed suggesting that Biden should step aside for the good of the country, but Biden’s family has reportedly encouraged him to stay in the race and continue fighting. Despite the internal turmoil within his campaign, discussions are ongoing about whether top aides should be fired. With a growing media storm surrounding his candidacy, Biden remains steadfast in his decision to stay in the race and lead the Democratic Party forward. It remains to be seen how the pressure and concerns raised by various groups will impact Biden’s campaign moving forward.
