braking news Biden digs in as pressure from fellow Democrats escalates

U.S. President Joe Biden, 81, has firmly stated his intention to continue his presidential campaign against Donald Trump, despite internal Democratic Party pressure to step down following a lackluster debate performance. Biden insists he is the best candidate to prevent Trump from regaining the White House in the November 5 election. The party is at a crossroads, with some members considering whether to support Biden or seek a replacement. Vice President Kamala Harris has emerged as a potential successor and has expressed support for Biden. Meanwhile, polls indicate Trump's lead is increasing, and there is concern within the Democratic Party that Biden's campaign could negatively impact other races. Senator Mark Warner plans to discuss Biden's candidacy in a meeting on Monday.
