Joe Biden is now under siege. Even the latest CNN poll for the race for the White House sees former US President Donald Trump in a clear lead. In fact, according to the survey conducted following the disastrous debate of June 27, the tycoon is given 49% once morest 44% for the current US president. In the previous CNN poll published before the debate, Trump stood at 49% and Biden at 47%. According to a new poll by the New York Times and Siena College, he is ahead of Biden 49% to 43%, three points more than a week before the face-off between the two candidates.
Meanwhile, pressure is growing on Biden to withdraw from the race in favor of another candidate. The American president “absolutely will not withdraw” from the race and is “moving forward” with his electoral campaign, reiterates White House spokeswoman Karine Jean-Pierre, while fears are growing and pressure continues – official and behind the scenes – for the elderly Dem leader to step back following his disastrous performance in the debate once morest Trump. The NYT, citing indiscretions from a meeting with an ally, claims that the White House tenant is evaluating whether to continue the race. He is “well aware of the political challenge he faces”, underlined one of his important advisers. Andrew Bates immediately denied it from the White House: “This statement is absolutely false. If the New York Times had given us more than 7 minutes to comment, we would have told them”, he wrote on X.
