Democratic Party Delegates Show Support for Biden

President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris held a surprise Democratic National Committee call to reaffirm their unity in the reelection bid amidst concerns about Biden's competitiveness following a debated performance. Despite doubts raised by some Democratic officials and calls for an alternate candidate, Pennsylvania officials and Alaska delegates expressed strong support for Biden, emphasizing his accomplishments and chances of beating Donald Trump. However, cracks in Democratic support emerged as Rep. Lloyd Doggett of Texas became the first sitting lawmaker to suggest Biden drop out, prompting a reassessment of Biden's campaign strategy and calls for more unscripted appearances to demonstrate his abilities. Top Democrats have intensified criticism of Biden's debate performance, signaling a challenging situation for the party.
