Biden receives an ultimatum that puts him on the verge of withdrawing his candidacy

The president of the United States, Joe Biden, and his management team accepted this Wednesday a “devastating” ultimatum from various sectors of the Democratic Party: quickly demonstrate his fitness for office or face a significant effort to force him to withdraw his candidacy, reports The Washington Post.

Two people familiar with the matter told the newspaper that the growing concern of the party’s main donors and strategists, including some of his own advisors, led the president to admit to his allies in recent days that he is “in a difficult moment.” ” and that he has to show voters that he is prepared for office.

After taking six days to directly address his poor performance in the election debate once morest Republican Donald Trump, Biden has now begun calling the main líderis of Congress, scheduling interviews and campaign events over the next weekend that “will be the subject of close scrutiny.”

However, it is not as easy as it seems, as senior Democratic strategists assure that even an “impeccable” performance over the next week may not save Biden “if significant cracks appear” in public and internal polls.

Several longtime Biden allies have described continued frustration regarding the policy response, especially following the debate, and a growing conviction that change is necessary. Even those who still maintain that the president is still the best candidate admitted to having lost ground in recent days.

However, previously during a conference with all campaign staff, Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris assured that the president is not going to abandon the electoral race, although they recognized the difficulties that his campaign is suffering. “I introduce myself. I am the candidate of the Democratic Party. Nobody is expelling me. “I’m not leaving,” he stated.
