President Biden Considers Ending Reelection Bid Amid Covid-19 Diagnosis

U.S. President Biden holds a cabinet meeting at the White House in Washington

President Joe Biden is returning to Delaware from Las Vegas after testing positive for Covid-19, prompting discussions within the Democratic Party about the future of his reelection bid. Following a concerning debate performance in Atlanta, there has been a growing sense of unease among Democrats.

While there is increasing pressure for Biden to step aside, sources reveal that he is engaging in private conversations with Democratic officials. Despite his public stance, Biden is reportedly more receptive to the idea of potentially not seeking reelection.

One senior Democratic adviser shared that Biden has shifted from dismissing Vice President Kamala Harris's chances of winning to now considering her viability as a candidate. The outcome of these deliberations remains uncertain, with Biden still weighing his options.

The White House and the Biden campaign are navigating uncharted territory as they grapple with the implications of a possible change in the President's reelection plans. The situation is fluid, with ongoing discussions and assessments taking place behind closed doors.

As the Democratic Party awaits Biden's final decision, the political landscape is in a state of flux. The coming days will likely bring clarity to the situation and shed light on the path forward for both the President and the party.
