President Joe Biden Faces Pressure to Step Down

Testing Kamala Harris Against Donald Trump

President Joe Biden is facing increasing pressure to reconsider his re-election bid. His campaign is quietly testing Vice President Kamala Harris’s viability against former President Donald Trump through a voter survey.

Many Democrats were troubled by Biden’s poor debate performance two weeks ago and have called for him to step aside. Despite this, Biden has declared his intention to continue his campaign, expressing confidence in his ability to defeat Trump.

On July 9, Biden wrote a letter to congressional Democrats, stating he would continue his election bid and calling for party unity to defeat Trump. He emphasized that any lack of resolve would only help Trump.

On July 8, House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries organized a leadership call where top House Democrats urged Biden to step aside, expressing concerns about his impact on the Democratic Party’s chances in the upcoming elections.
