Staff Reports
The rumors swirling around Joe Biden’s potential withdrawal from the 2020 presidential race are sending shockwaves through the political arena. Despite the staunch denials from the Biden campaign and the White House, a recent report suggests that Biden might be contemplating stepping down.
According to sources, Biden, reeling from a disastrous debate performance, is acutely aware of the uphill battle he faces in convincing voters of his capability to lead. The pressure is on for him to deliver stellar performances in upcoming appearances, including a crucial interview with George Stephanopoulos and campaign stops in key battleground states.
A big issue with getting Biden out? Democrats don't want Biden to leave the race. The voters who could pressure their elected leaders want Biden to stay in.
The data right now don't look like Truman (52) or Johnson (68). They look a lot more like Bush (92), who stayed in & lost pic.twitter.com/HxmyO57fQP

The internal discussions within Biden’s camp raise serious questions about his candidacy’s sustainability and whether he can bounce back from recent setbacks. With concerns mounting about his ability to withstand the rigors of the campaign trail and potentially serve another term as president, the stakes have never been higher for the former Vice President.
While the White House has dismissed the reports as false, their credibility on matters related to Biden’s health and performance is questionable at best. The conflicting narratives from different sources only add to the uncertainty surrounding Biden’s future in the race.
Despite the tumultuous environment surrounding Biden, there is some solace in the fact that a majority of Democrats still support his candidacy. Surveys indicate mixed results in post-debate polling, with Biden’s standing against Trump fluctuating. However, with the general consensus showing Trump maintaining a lead, the road ahead for Biden remains fraught with challenges.
