In the face of increasing pressure to withdraw from the race, President Joe Biden is expected to remain resolute and continue his campaign for the presidency, according to Michael LaRosa, First Lady Jill Biden's former press secretary.
Speaking on "Jesse Watters Primetime," LaRosa emphasized that the decision to stay in the race ultimately lies with President Biden himself. Speculation had arisen that Jill Biden was the driving force behind his refusal to step down, but LaRosa dismissed such claims, stating that the decision was not hers to make.
Despite a rocky debate performance and mounting pressure from various sources, including readers from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania urging Jill Biden to persuade her husband to withdraw, the first family remains committed to persevering. LaRosa stressed that Jill Biden is not comfortable with making such a decision on behalf of the Democratic Party.
LaRosa further explained that President Biden is unlikely to willingly leave the race, noting that a "compelling case" would need to be presented to convince him to suspend his campaign. He emphasized that although Jill Biden has a disdain for politics, her love for President Biden is unwavering.
The president's steadfastness in staying in the race has led to several media outlets, including The Washington Post, launching pressure campaigns on the Biden family. Letters published in the Post from concerned readers in Pennsylvania, New York, and Washington pleaded with Jill Biden to urge her husband to withdraw from the presidential race, citing concerns about his mental fitness.
One reader, Richard Young from Lexington, New York, echoed the sentiment of many, agreeing with the 72% of registered voters mentioned by CBS who believe that President Biden is no longer mentally fit to serve as president.
As the pressure continues to mount, the Biden family remains resolute in their decision to forge ahead. The outcome of their determination to stay in the race amidst mounting pressure and speculations remains to be seen.
