A senior White House official who has worked with President Biden since his days as vice president reportedly joined the growing chorus of calls urging him against running for reelection.
That unnamed official, described as working with Biden, 81, throughout his vice presidency, 2020 campaign and presidency explained to the New York Times that observing him in private and during travels together made clear that the Democrat doesn’t have what it takes to defeat Donald Trump.
The official concluded that Biden has increasingly displayed more signs of age over recent months, appearing tired in public, and speaking at a slower cadence.
Since Biden’s debate performance at the end of last month, he has been rocked by a storm of uncertainty among Democrats over whether he should remain at the top of the ticket for the Nov. 5 election.
Biden attempted to address many of these concerns on Friday during a sitdown interview with ABC News — but managed only to bleed even more supporters from his party.
