8:12Now PlayingSeveral top Democrats privately believe that rising pressure from party congressional leaders and close friends will persuade President Biden to drop out of the presidential race as soon as this weekend. The 81-year-old president, currently self-isolating with COVID, remains publicly committed to his campaign, but privately, he's feeling the weight of mounting pressure, bad polls, and untenable scrutiny that make it impossible to continue, according to Democratic insiders. The blunt message from top party leaders, friends, and key donors is that Biden cannot win, cannot change public perceptions of his age and acuity, and cannot secure congressional majorities.
The pressure for Biden to step aside has reached intolerable levels, especially over the past few days. Democrats expect polls following the Republican National Convention to show a potential blowout that could jeopardize their congressional seats. A close friend of Biden said, "His choice is to be one of history's heroes, or to ensure there'll never be a Biden presidential library. I pray he does the right thing." An AP poll revealed nearly two-thirds of Democrats want Biden to withdraw, triggering a panic pressure campaign. Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer told Biden it would be best to drop out, while former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi warned him that staying in could destroy Democrats' chances of retaking the House. Former President Obama and the Clintons have maintained a conspicuous silence, with their aides publicly criticizing Biden. Increasingly, top Biden aides, including those who previously urged him to fight on, now believe it is a matter of when, not if, Biden will announce his withdrawal from the race.
