Report: Biden Plotting with Allies to Defy Critics and Salvage CampaignSimon Kent 21 Jul 2024
Coronavirus-stricken President Joe Biden might be down but he firmly believes he is not out of the 2024 race to the White House and on Sunday remained huddled with top political aides to plot a return to the campaign trail.
Bloomberg reports the appeals from vulnerable House and Senate Democrats for Biden to depart have only intensified as the president has been quarantined at his Delaware beach home after he tested positive for COVID-19 Wednesday.
On Friday, Senator Sherrod Brown of Ohio, a longtime ally, joined a chorus of nearly three dozen Democratic lawmakers urging Biden to suspend his campaign as others took the front of the White House to make their own pleas public.
“I agree with the many Ohioans who have reached out to me,” Brown made clear in his statement. “At this critical time, our full attention must return to these important issues. I think the President should end his campaign.”
Biden is having none of it and issued his own statement vowing to return to the campaign trail in the coming week.
