Abstract

President Joe Biden is facing divisions within the Democratic Party regarding his candidacy following a poor debate performance. House Democrats held closed-door meetings to discuss Biden's ability to defeat Donald Trump in the upcoming election, but there is no clear consensus on whether he should step aside. Some lawmakers expressed support for Biden, while others called for him to withdraw. Additionally, concerns about Biden's ability to beat Trump are being raised by donors, with nearly 400 donors signing a letter calling for Biden to withdraw. Senate Democrats will also hold a meeting to discuss the issue. [Extracted from the article]
