US President Joe Biden meets at Camp David to discuss his re-election campaign
US President Joe Biden is set to hold talks on the future of his re-election campaign at the official residence of Camp David. According to reports from the television network NBC, Biden and First Lady Jill Biden will spend Sunday at Camp David, where the president plans to meet some of his grandchildren. However, any discussion of the campaign is expected to be informal or secondary, and no decisive decision is expected to be made at this family gathering.
Concerns about Biden’s ability to beat Trump
Biden’s performance in the recent debate has raised concerns within the party about his ability to beat former Republican President Donald Trump in the November election. Some voices within the Democratic Party have expressed concern and have suggested finding an alternative candidate. However, top Democratic figures such as former President Barack Obama, former President Bill Clinton and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton have endorsed Biden and urged Americans to compare him to the alternative they consider worse: Donald Trump.
Support from Democratic leaders and private concerns
While Democratic leaders such as Hakeem Jeffries, Nancy Pelosi and Jim Clyburn have publicly expressed support for Biden, according to NBC reports, they have privately expressed concerns about his viability as a candidate. These concerns reflect the internal debate within the party over Biden’s ability to take on Trump and govern for another four years due to his age.
