The president’s expectations of stabilizing his campaign this week, or possibly ever, are fading due to an increasing chorus of Democrats opposing him.
After the president seemed to be making progress, the powerful Congressional Black Caucus and prominent liberal members of Congress recently expressed their support for him.
However, things have changed once more, and this is happening in Washington, DC, during a high-profile NATO summit with US partners.
In an opinion piece published in a newspaper on Wednesday night, Vermont Senator Peter Welch became the first senator of the Democratic Party to publicly urge Mr. Biden to step down “for the good of the country.”.
The stakes are much higher for Mr. Biden’s press conference on Thursday afternoon at the conclusion of the NATO summit because of the drumbeat of defections. It will be his largest unplanned test since the disastrous debate he had two weeks ago, which set off this whole problem.
Lester Holt, host of News, is set to have a sit-down interview with Mr. Biden on Monday. One slip-up or error in the coming days may support every one of the most devastating claims made by prominent Democratic donor Mr. Clooney in his News essay.
