President Biden has been "incredibly busy working the phones" and will continue to make calls through this week, a source familiar told Fox News Digital, and his strategy to save his re-election bid appears to be working.
Biden has been facing mounting calls from members within his own party to step aside and suspend his re-election campaign following his disastrous debate performance last month. However, Biden is going all in to tamp down dissent among lawmakers, activists and pundits pushing for Democrats to dump him as the nominee, and rescue his suddenly tenuous candidacy, sources told Fox News Digital.
"President Biden has been incredibly busy working the phones," a source familiar with the president’s efforts told Fox News Digital, adding that Biden will be making more calls on Tuesday.
By Monday evening, the tides appeared to be turning – at least, on Capitol Hill. More than half a dozen Democratic sources told Fox News Digital that the "breathless calls" to swap out Biden as the Democratic presidential nominee should be ignored.
