Biden to drop out of presidential race this weekend – Axios

Growing pressure from party leaders in Congress and close friends will convince U.S. President Joe Biden to decide to drop out of the presidential race as early as this weekend.

Axios reported this on Thursday, July 18, with reference to representatives of the Democratic Party.

The media reports that privately, Biden has already come to terms with the mounting pressure, bad polls, and untenable scrutiny that will make it impossible for him to continue his campaign, Democrats tell us.

" The top leaders of his party, his friends and key donors believe he can't win, can't change public perceptions of his age and acuity, and can't deliver congressional majorities. The pressure to step aside as a candidate has been rising to intolerable levels, especially over the past few days," the article says.

The president is being told that if he stays in office, former President Trump could win in a landslide and destroy the hopes of Biden and the Democrats in November.

Democrats expect polls after the Republican National Convention to show a "possible blowout" that could bring down Democrats in Congress as well.

As the Ukrainian News agency earlier reported, The Washington Post said that the leaders of the Democrats in the House of Representatives and the Senate asked President Joe Biden to withdraw from the presidential race.

On July 17, Biden announced that he would withdraw from the election in case of serious health problems.

On July 18, it became known that Biden contracted coronavirus.
