President Biden told Democratic lawmakers and donors in no uncertain terms that he’s not ending his reelection bid after he faltered in the debate — and that they needed to stop talking about it.
President Biden sent a two-page letter to Democratic lawmakers on Monday to say that “I am firmly committed to staying in this race”, saying speculation over his future was helping former President Donald Trump — and that it was time to stop.
“The question of how to move forward has been well-aired for over a week now. And it’s time for it to end. We have one job,” Biden said.
Biden, 81, has been insistent that he would continue his campaign even after he badly faltered in a debate with Trump — a performance that alarmed Democrats worried about his ability to run, win and govern.
