In new letter, president digs in amid calls from some lawmakers for him to quit race
WASHINGTON—President Biden told congressional Democrats in a letter Monday that he was committed to “running this race to the end,” as public and private calls for him to exit from the contest grow louder.
In the letter, Biden said he had had “extensive conversations” with party leadership, members and voters over the past 10 days and said he wasn’t blind to the concerns about his age and his candidacy that have emerged since his disastrous debate performance. But he said he was heartened by “rock-solid, steadfast support” from many and wouldn’t continue if he wasn’t confident he could beat former President Donald Trump.
