In the aftermath of a tumultuous presidential debate with his Republican rival Donald Trump, President Joe Biden faces mounting pressure to withdraw from the 2024 race. On Monday, Biden acknowledged his advancing age but emphasized his commitment to truthfulness.
Sections of the Democratic Party are in a state of panic following Biden's 90-minute debate performance last Thursday, which was described as rambling and at times incoherent. Reports indicate that Biden’s family, who gathered at Camp David over the weekend, have encouraged the president to stay in the race. They offered their “unequivocal support” and discussed whether campaign staffing changes should be made.
A CBS News/YouGov poll released on Sunday highlighted concerns within the party, with 72 per cent of registered Democratic voters questioning Biden's mental and cognitive health. Despite the fallout, Biden remains determined to run, as speculated by his advisers.
