"New York Times": Biden is considering withdrawal
US President Joe Biden (81) considers a withdrawal from the presidential election campaign to be possible. This is reported by the "New York Times" in a breaking news story, citing a close ally of the president.
According to the report, Biden told a "key ally that he knows he may not be able to save his candidacy." If he fails to convince the public of his suitability for the presidency in the coming days, he could drop out of the race for the White House.
"This conversation is the first indication that the president is seriously considering whether he can recover after a disastrous performance on the debate stage in Atlanta on Thursday," reports the US newspaper.
Biden frustration in the White House
"Pretending everything is OK is insane"
There is frustration in the White House with the aging president, as an insider reveals.
Who's telling Biden? President Joe Biden (81) delivered one of the most shocking TV appearances...
Joe Biden has been under massive pressure since the botched TV duel against challenger Donald Trump (78). In front of the cameras, what had previously been suggested in countless video clips came true: Biden looked very old, had mental lapses and seemed absent at times.
The US President and his wife, First Lady Jill Biden (73), publicly announced that withdrawing from the presidential candidacy was NOT an option. The White House responded to critical reports from left-liberal media and pressure from the Democratic Party with slogans of perseverance.
Biden has a decisive weekend ahead of him
It is now clear that Joe Biden himself also has doubts about his candidacy. According to the New York Times report, the President understands that his appearances next weekend (including a TV interview) must go flawlessly. Otherwise, his badly damaged image would be almost impossible to save.
If Biden does voluntarily withdraw from the presidential election campaign, the Democrats will have to find a new candidate in a fast-track process. Vice President Kamala Harris (59) is considered the likely successor. According to experts, it is completely unclear what effect the exchange of candidates would have on the election campaign.
