Joe Biden ‘more receptive to standing down after senior Democrats turn on President’ as he battles Covid
Joe Biden is ‘more receptive to standing down’ after a series of senior Democrats called on him to pull out of the presidential race. | The US President’s tone has closed behind closed doors and he is more ‘willing to listen’ to those who are calling for his resignation, the New York Times reports. Those who have called on Mr Biden to pull out of the race include the former House Speaker, Nancy Pelosi, as well as Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries. ● New polling suggests Donald Trump may have experience a slight boost in the polls after he survived an assassination attempt over the weekend. Mr Biden is now trailing the former US President in a number of the key swing states, which may impact his decision to stand down.
