Jul 8, 2024, 01:24 PM

President Joe Biden has firmly declared his intention to remain in the 2024 presidential race despite growing calls from within his party for him to step aside. In a lengthy letter to congressional Democrats, Biden emphasized his commitment to the campaign and urged the party to unite behind his candidacy to defeat Republican challenger Donald Trump. Biden acknowledged the concerns about his electability and mental fitness but insisted that he is the best candidate to take on Trump. This announcement comes amid an intraparty revolt and speculation in the media about his ability to continue his campaign. Biden's letter follows the July 4th recess and addresses the fallout from his dismal debate performance.
