Report: Top Democrats Say Joe Biden Will Exit Race as ‘Soon as This Weekend’
By Breitbart. President Joe Biden will step aside as the presumptive Democrat presidential nominee as “soon as this weekend,” several top Democrats privately told Axios Thursday.
The Biden-Harris campaign immediately rejected the idea, telling Bloomberg that Biden will remain atop the ticket.
Alex Marlow, Breitbart News Editor-in-Chief and author of the New York Times bestselling book Breaking Biden, suggested that the most probable way to persuade Biden to withdraw from the race would be to offer him a significant financial incentive.
Joe Biden is his party’s nominee. He’s the President of the United States. He’s running for reelection. Baseless conjecture from anonymous sources isn’t a scoop. Tonight a convicted felon will talk about how he’ll make people’s lives worse if he gains power. Let’s focus. https://t.co/RZBb9k6g9d

Nearly two-thirds of Democrats want Biden to quit the race, an Associated Press/NORC poll found Wednesday.
“His choice is to be one of history’s heroes, or to be sure of the fact that there’ll never be a Biden presidential library,” one of Biden’s closest friends told Axios. “I pray that he does the right thing. He’s headed that way.”
As I’ve been saying for years, there is nothing in Joe Biden’s character that will compel him to stand down.
Not a single member of his inner circle has broken with him publicly.
He DGAF about what the media says about him, even the NYT (or the Obama pod bros🤣).
He obviously…

Biden Pushes Party Unity as He Resists Calls to Step Aside, Says He’ll Return to Campaign Next Week
By Breitbart. President Joe Biden on Friday appealed for party unity to take on former President Donald Trump’s “dark vision,” working to hold off pressure from Democrats at the highest levels for him to bow out of the 2024 election to make way for a new nominee and avoid widespread losses.
As more Democratic members of Congress called for him to drop out Friday — bringing the total since his disastrous debate against Trump to at least 30 — Biden remained isolated at his beach house in Delaware after being diagnosed with COVID-19. The president, who has insisted he can beat Trump, was huddling with family and relying on a few longtime aides as he tries to resist efforts to shove him aside.
Biden said Trump’s acceptance speech at the Republican National Convention showcased a “dark vision for the future.” The president, seeking to move the political conversation away from his fate and onto his rival’s agenda, said Friday he was planning to return to the campaign trail next week and insisted he has a path to victory over Trump, despite the worries of some of his party’s most eminent members.
