Biden campaign chair admits ‘slippage’ in support but affirms president will continue in race

President Joe Biden is facing pressure from Democrats to step aside for the 2024 election to prevent party losses in November. Despite calls for him to drop out, Biden’s campaign chair insists he is staying in the race and believes he can beat Trump.

With 28 Democratic members of Congress now calling for him to bow out, Biden is isolated as he battles COVID-19 in Delaware. His circle of confidants has shrunk, but he is with family and a few longtime aides as he weighs his decision.

Meanwhile, the Democratic National Committee is moving forward with plans for a virtual roll call to nominate the presidential pick, ahead of the party’s convention in Chicago. Amid the turmoil, a majority of Democrats believe Vice President Kamala Harris would make a good president.

Despite the campaign’s struggle to raise money and fears of losing in November, Biden remains committed to staying in the race. While some Democrats are urging him to reconsider, others are standing by him, including influential leaders like Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries.

Ultimately, the decision lies with Biden, who has presidential endorsements and a belief in his ability to win the election.
