The report circulating about Joe Biden considering withdrawing from the 2020 presidential race has sent shockwaves through the political arena. Despite pushback from the campaign and the White House, sources claim Biden is questioning his candidacy’s viability after a disastrous debate performance.
Anonymous insiders revealed that Biden is acutely aware of the public’s doubts about his capabilities following the debate. The upcoming events, including a critical ABC News interview and campaign stops, are seen as make-or-break moments for his campaign. There is pressure on Biden to deliver convincing performances and dispel concerns about his readiness for the presidency.
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 White House swiftly denied the report, dismissing it as false. However, given their track record of downplaying Biden’s health issues and dismissing concerns as “cheap fakes,” their rebuttal may not carry much weight with the public.
CNN further added fuel to the fire by reporting Biden’s private acknowledgment of the critical juncture he faces in the election. The contrast between public statements and alleged private sentiments underscores the uncertainty surrounding Biden’s future in the race.
Despite the turmoil, Biden can take solace in the support of a majority of Democrats who want him to continue his candidacy. However, the mixed post-debate polling and varying performance metrics against Trump indicate a challenging road ahead for the former vice president. The underlying dynamics of the race suggest an uphill battle for Biden, with Trump maintaining a lead in recent polls.
