A defiant President Biden insisted today that he will not drop out of
the presidential race. Mr. Biden says any Democrat who wants him to step aside should challenge him at the convention in August
The president struck a combative tone during an interview on MSNBC, and he also joined a call with major donors to the party to reiterate that he’s not going anywhere and fully intends to be the Democratic nominee for president. He also sent a letter to House Democrats today saying it’s time to end the drama after his disastrous performance in his debate with Donald Trump, and for the party to unite behind him to defeat the former president. A growing number of Congressional Democrats are calling for Biden to step aside, but Virginia Senator Mark Warner canceled a meeting he had planned with fellow Senators to discuss their options.
