US President Joe Biden's commitment to running for a second term is increasingly questioned within his own party, with numerous Democrats calling for his withdrawal from the race. Amidst concerns regarding his health and declining popularity, Biden's recent performance in a televised debate against Donald Trump has intensified these discussions. Despite contracting COVID-19, Biden has vowed to continue his campaign, yet speculation about potential withdrawal scenarios grows.
The pressure for Biden to step aside is mounting as influential party members, including Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer, express concerns over his electability against Trump. Polls indicate a significant portion of Democrats believe he should withdraw, with some suggesting Vice President Kamala Harris could be a more viable candidate. As the Democratic National Committee prepares for a pivotal vote on Biden's nomination, the internal party dynamics are becoming increasingly complex.
