Calls for Biden's departure from the top of the ticket intensified after his poor debate performance against GOP presumptive nominee Donald Trump in late June. Biden justifies staying in the race by noting his victory in the Democratic primaries, framing any replacement as a violation of democratic principles.
In a letter to Congress, Biden emphasized that the voters define the Democratic Party's nominee, highlighting the importance of democratic processes within the party itself to maintain credibility.
Biden questioned how the party could advocate for democracy in the nation while potentially disregarding it within its own ranks, emphasizing the need to uphold democratic values even in challenging situations.
President Biden referred to those calling for his replacement as 'elites,' despite his own status in the Democratic Party's elite circles, sparking discussions about the internal dynamics and power struggles within the party.
