It is indicated that the president has become “more receptive” to calls for him to withdraw from the race.

“Now the American leader is exhausted,” the TV channel's source said.

He also added that the time Biden will spend in self-isolation at his residence in Delaware will allow the president to think about the future and talk to people around him.
