WASHINGTON, D.C. — Democratic leaders on Sunday rallied behind United States President Joe Biden following his poor debate performance last week, as the White House denied a report he was meeting with family to assess his candidacy.
No major party figures have broken ranks to call for Biden to step down, with prominent Democrats — including former presidents Barack Obama and Bill Clinton — voicing full-throated support amid a torrent of doubts from everyday Americans and even a call from the New York Times editorial board to move aside.
Biden and his family traveled to the Camp David presidential retreat on Saturday night, where NBC News reported he was expected to assess the future of his reelection campaign following his performance.White House Senior Deputy Press Secretary Andrew Bates, however, posted on X, formerly Twitter, that the trip had been planned since before the debate, questioning the publication and claiming it had failed to ask for comment on the matter.
