Biden Campaign Denies Rumors of Departure from Race

Despite reports suggesting President Biden is considering withdrawing from the 2024 election, his campaign insists he remains committed to the race.

Amidst the ongoing Republican National Convention, President Biden's campaign has vehemently refuted rumors claiming that the president is on the verge of withdrawing from the 2024 presidential race. These rumors have sparked widespread concern within the Democratic Party, particularly among elected officials worried about the party's prospects in the upcoming midterm elections.

Biden's principal deputy campaign manager, Quentin Fulks, has categorically denied such reports, asserting that the campaign is not considering any scenarios in which Biden would not be the party's nominee. Fulks emphasized that the president has repeatedly stated his intention to remain in the race and accept the Democratic nomination in Chicago.

The rumors of Biden's potential departure have gained traction in the wake of his perceived lackluster debate performance against former President Donald Trump, who has already secured the Republican nomination. Biden has also faced mounting pressure from within his own party, with several high-profile Democrats, including Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer and former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, reportedly urging him to reconsider his candidacy.

However, the Biden campaign has dismissed these concerns, maintaining that the president remains the best candidate to lead the Democratic Party and the nation. Fulks asserted that Biden is "staying in this race" and "looks forward to continuing with this race to talk about what's at stake."

Despite the campaign's insistence, the rumors of Biden's potential withdrawal have persisted, fueled by reports that former President Barack Obama has expressed doubts about Biden's chances of victory. A source close to Obama has downplayed these reports, stating that Obama continues to support Biden and views his administration's accomplishments as significant.

The rumors have also coincided with the Republican National Convention, which has showcased a unified GOP rallying behind Trump's candidacy. The Trump campaign has taken this opportunity to contrast their perceived unity with the turmoil surrounding Biden's campaign.
