Even though there is significant political influence, President Joe Biden is said to have no plans to drop out of the presidential race before Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu's scheduled address to Congress on Wednesday, as per information in the United States. According to a report that was published by The New York Times yesterday.
According to sources close to President Biden, he has no plans to appease Netanyahu by pulling out before the Congress speech, citing the tense relationship between the leaders.
Moreover, according to The New York Times, Biden, who is currently isolating at his residence in Delaware after testing positive for COVID-19, is experiencing unease as there is increasing pressure from his fellow party members, including long-time supporters like former President Obama, pushing for him to drop out of the presidential election sooner rather than later.
In the middle of it all, Biden points out ex-House Speaker Nancy Pelosi as the key figure pressuring him to step down, along with other Democrats following suit, despite his own let down with former President Obama.
The New York Times reported that Biden has observed that former Presidents Obama and Clinton have not been providing him with any assistance in the past few days.
Nevertheless, Biden continues to demonstrate no indication of stepping back on a personal level. Biden announced on Friday that he plans to resume campaigning next week, focusing on exposing the dangers of Trump's 'Project 2025' and sharing his vision for America centred on defending democracy, safeguarding rights and freedoms, and providing opportunities for all.
