81-year-old Joe Biden has faced mounting pressure to step aside amid fears over his health following his disastrous debate performance against Donald Trump
Joe Biden has sensationally announced he won't stand in the US presidential election against Donald Trump after stepping down as Democrat leader.
However, publicly and privately, key Democrats - including Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer and House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries - have spoken privately to the president, candidly laying out the views of Democrats on Capitol Hill, including their concerns. "Passed the first gun safety law in 30 years. Appointed the first African American woman to the Supreme Court. And passed the most significant climate legislation in the history of the world. America has never been better positioned to lead than we are today.
Separately, the chair of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, Rep. Suzan DelBene of Washington, spoke with the president last week armed with fresh data. The campaign chief specifically aired the concerns of frontline Democrats that were seeking election to the House.
