President Joe Biden is facing increasing pressure from top Democrats, including former President Obama and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, to reconsider his candidacy in the upcoming election. With campaign events halted due to Covid-19 and reports of wavering Democratic support, Biden finds himself in a precarious position. Despite the turmoil, Biden remains adamant about continuing his campaign, causing a divide within the party.
