Live Updates: Biden Plans to Resume Campaigning as More Democrats Urge Him to Quit
Five House members and a senator joined the drumbeat of party members calling for Biden to exit the race. The president, who is isolating after a Covid diagnosis, said he would return to the campaign trail next week.
"President Biden, isolating after a Covid diagnosis, pledged to return to the campaign trail next week even as more Democrats on Friday urged him to end his re-election campaign.
Mr. Biden showed no signs publicly of stepping aside even as he appeared in private to be softening his insistence on remaining in the race amid growing pressure from his party. Discussions among Mr. Biden’s advisers have advanced to the point that they are talking about the best timing and other details for an announcement if the president decides to give up his bid for a second term, according to one person informed about the situation."
