Democratic leaders are urging President Biden and his campaign to provide evidence of a feasible path to victory due to concerns about his ability to defeat Donald Trump in November. Top union leaders, who are typically strong supporters of Biden, expressed doubts about his candidacy and asked for a plan to defeat Trump. Meanwhile, some members of Biden’s senior campaign staff have started to question his chances of winning, despite continuing to work hard to push the campaign forward and reassure supporters.
As Democratic lawmakers and donors privately signal their possible withdrawal of support for Biden, pressure is mounting for him to drop out of the race. Concerns about Biden’s performance, particularly after a lackluster debate with Trump, have led to questioning of his mental acuity and ability to serve for another four years. With public polls showing Trump gaining momentum, Democrats are anxiously waiting for convincing evidence from the Biden campaign that they can turn the situation around and secure a victory in the upcoming election.
The uncertainty surrounding Biden’s candidacy has raised alarms about his fundraising capabilities and support from high-dollar donors. With donations dropping off and campaign advisers waiting to see if enthusiasm will return after the Republican convention, Biden is facing increasing pressure to make a decision about his future in the race. Calls for him to drop out are growing louder, with influential figures like George Clooney publicly stating that Biden should quit for the sake of the party.
