Despite a shaky debate performance last week, top U.S. Democrats are standing firm behind President Joe Biden's bid for re-election. 🚀
Over the weekend, party leaders dismissed any notion of replacing Biden as the Democratic nominee for the November 5 election. Instead, they're urging members to focus on preventing a potential return of former President Donald Trump to the White House. 🏛️
Biden, 81, spent Sunday with his family at the Camp David presidential retreat. According to sources cited by The New York Times, his family is encouraging him to stay in the race and keep pushing forward. Some family members reportedly expressed frustration over how his team prepared him for last Thursday's debate.
Since the debate, there's been a growing chorus calling for fresh leadership. A CBS poll revealed that 46% of Democrats now believe Biden shouldn't run, up from 36% in February. 📊
But Democratic leaders are closing ranks, emphasizing the stakes of the upcoming election and the importance of unity within the party. ✊
