In a letter to congressional Democrats on Monday, President Biden vehemently rejected proposals that he withdraw from the presidential contest, claiming that doing so would disregard his record and undercut popular preference.
In a statement released by his campaign, the president urged lawmakers to support his candidacy and directly addressed the controversy that has overtaken the Democratic Party since his terrible debate performance on June 27.
“The question of how to move forward has been well-aired for over a week now. And it’s time for it to end. Any weakening of resolve or lack of clarity about the task ahead only helps Trump and hurts us. It is time to come together.” Biden wrote in the statement.
“I have heard the concerns that people have — their good faith fears and worries about what is at stake in this election. I am not blind to them,” he continued.
“I can respond to all this by saying clearly and unequivocally: I wouldn’t be running again if I did not absolutely believe I was the best person to beat Donald Trump in 2024,” Biden added.
Recently, an increasing number of Democrats have come forward to question Joe Biden’s capacity to defeat former President Trump in November or to urge that he should resign as the party’s contender in 2024.
It has been publicly questioned by several in the party if he can campaign with the passion and intensity required to defeat Trump.
