Democratic leaders backed Joe Biden after his performance in the debate, while the White House denied rumors about a family meeting to evaluate his candidacy. Prominent Democrats, including Barack Obama y Bill Clintonexpressed their support amidst doubts from citizens and a call from the editorial board of the New York Times to decline.
“It’s not about debate performance, it’s about the presidency,” said Nancy Pelosi, former speaker of the House House of Representatives, for CNN“On one side you have integrity; on the other, dishonesty,” he said.
On the other hand, a survey of CBS News, conducted after the debate showed that nearly three-quarters of voters believe the president should not run, including 46% of Democrats.
Biden and his family traveled to Camp David. NBC News reported that they would evaluate the future of their campaign, but deputy press secretary Andrew Bates said the trip was scheduled in advance.
Comments from Republican journalists and politicians suggest that Democrats are seeking to convince Biden to drop out of the race. Names such as Gavin Newsom and Michelle Obama have been mentioned, although without any official announcement.
