Joe Biden has reiterated that he has no intention of dropping out of the presidential election.
President Biden told a wide range of Democrats on Monday that he intends to "run this race to the end" and that it's time to stop talking about switching nominees as concerns about his candidacy grow louder
In a letter to Democratic congressmen, he says he is convinced he is "the best person to defeat Donald Trump in 2024.
He said he wasn't blind to concerns about his age and his candidacy that surfaced after his disastrous debate performance. But he said he was heartened by the "solid, unwavering support" from many and that he wouldn't have gone ahead if he wasn't confident he could beat former President Donald Trump again.
Biden said similar things in the days following the debate. In the meantime, however, doubts and skepticism about his candidacy were growing inside and outside the Democratic Party.
On Sunday, five Democratic lawmakers asked Biden to pick someone else as his running mate, and on Friday, some major Democratic Party donors announced they would suspend donations until he withdraws his candidacy.
