Biden Gives Reporters 4-Word Response Amid Pressure to Drop Out
Under mounting pressure from his party to step aside, President Joe Biden told reporters in front of the White House that he intends to remain in the November contest.
“I’m not going anywhere,” Biden told reporters.
During a poor performance in CNN’s debate against former President Donald Trump last week, Biden struggled to clearly answer questions and clarify his plans. Now, Democratic legislators, funders, and analysts have started urging the president to drop out of the race before the convention.
Biden hailed WW2 veterans as heroes who battled for freedom and democracy on the White House lawn. The address was meant to persuade the followers of the president that he is still qualified to challenge Trump. Biden answered reporters on his political future as he concluded his address, stating he was not wavering from the 2024 contest.
“You got me, man. I’m not going anywhere. Alright,” Biden told reporters. “You know, I used to think, when I was a Senator, there was always congestion on the highways. There’s no congestion anymore! We go out on the highway and there’s no congestion!”
He continued, “The way they get me to stop talking, they’ll say, ‘we just shut down all the roads, Mr. President. You’re gonna lose all the votes if you don’t get in,’ but anyway.”
Mediaite reported: “According to multiple reports, Biden spoke with Democratic governors at a private meeting at the White House on Wednesday evening, where he attempted to reassure them about his candidacy.The president told the elected officials that he needed to get more sleep and that his staff have been instructed to avoid scheduling events for him after 8 p.m.”
