President Joe Biden Facing Pressure to Withdraw

Pressure mounts within the Democratic Party for President Joe Biden to withdraw from the election race as over 30 Democratic members of Congress, including Senators and Representatives, and major donors express concerns about his chances against Donald Trump. Speculation about Biden possibly stepping aside is fueled by reports of allies discussing withdrawal details, and calls for Vice President Kamala Harris to assume the candidacy grow. While some Black female supporters and politicians like Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez still back Biden, significant figures like top Democrat donor Michael Moritz urge his withdrawal, potentially impacting fundraising. Senators Ron Wyden and Jeff Merkley from Oregon also hint at wavering support for Biden following polls showing Trump leading nationally and in swing states, emphasizing the need to defeat Trump as the top priority.
