REHOBOTH BEACH, Delaware/MILWAUKEE — President Joe Biden is contemplating withdrawing from his re-election bid, according to an insider, as Donald Trump gears up to secure the Republican nomination.
On Thursday, the outlook for the two candidates appeared markedly different ahead of the November 5 election.
Biden, who is isolating due to a COVID-19 infection, faces mounting pressure from within his party to step aside to avoid a significant defeat. Key Democrats are urging him to reconsider his candidacy.
In contrast, Trump, 78, received enthusiastic support at the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee this week. This comes after surviving an assassination attempt at a Pennsylvania rally over the weekend. Trump made a dramatic entrance at the convention, still wearing a bandage over the ear injured in the attack.
Trump is scheduled to deliver his acceptance speech at 10:00 p.m. Eastern time on Friday, where he will outline his plans for a potential second term to a nationwide audience.
Following a challenging debate performance, Biden is under growing pressure from prominent Democrats to relinquish his position. A White House source revealed that former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is among those advising him that his chances in November are slim.
Despite Biden’s previous insistence on continuing his campaign, several Democratic officials now believe he should step down soon. According to the source, Biden is taking these calls seriously and re-evaluating his stance.
