U.S. President Joe Biden and his team, despite facing pressure and disheartening poll results, still believe that withdrawing from the election race would be a mistake.
This is reported by the Washington Post.
According to the publication, even after lackluster performances in the debates and a decline in voter support, Biden has expressed confidence that he could defeat Donald Trump. Meanwhile, he has refrained from placing blame on Vice President Kamala Harris in private conversations.
Some Democrats criticize Harris for her unsuccessful campaign, noting that due to Biden's prolonged presence in the race, she had only three months for her own campaign.
Others believe that by trying to remain in office, Biden has broken his promise to be a transitional president who would pass the torch to younger leaders of the Democratic Party.
