In an effort to silence his critics on the left, President Joe Biden asserted his steadfast commitment to the 2024 election in a letter he wrote to congressional Democrats on Monday. Despite mounting calls for his withdrawal following a lackluster debate performance, Biden’s missive aimed to reassure his party that he remains resolute in his bid for reelection.
And believe it or not, he made a couple of valid points — whoever wrote the letter for him did, anyway.
«Now that you have returned from the July 4th recess, I want you to know that despite all the speculation in the press and elsewhere, I am firmly committed to staying in this race, to running this race to the end, and to beating Donald Trump,” the letter began.
Biden then acknowledged the concerns raised by party leaders, elected officials, and Democratic voters following recent events. He claimed to «know better than anyone” about the burden of being the Democratic nominee. «I carried it in 2020 when the fate of our nation was at stake,” he wrote. He went on to express gratitude for the support he has received from longtime allies and voters alike, before reaffirming his commitment to staying in the race and explaining his reasons why.
