After a weak debate effort against Donald Trump on June 27, concerns about Joe Biden's chances of winning have increased among Democrats and donors.
A Reuters/Ipsos poll shows that one in three Democrats think Biden should withdraw from the election.
A congressman tells Axios that all the participants at a monthly forum in his state preferred to talk about Biden's age rather than social issues.
– Every day that passes is a disaster, says an alleged top Democrat who wishes to remain anonymous.
The politician says Vice President Kamala Harris needs time if Biden were to agree to step down and endorse her as his replacement.
The White House and the Biden campaign has made a series of excuses for what happened during the debate in June. Biden blamed his lackluster performance on a busy period of international travel ahead of the debate and has stated that he “almost fell asleep on stage”.
However, the White House has dismissed rumors that Biden was about to voluntarily withdraw. .
