President Biden Tells Congress He Will Stay in Presidential Race
President Joe Biden has sent an official letter to Congressional Democrats concerning the status of his campaign for the presidential race.
In the letter, President Biden makes clear that he’s not giving up and the party’s main goal should be to defeat Donald Trump in the presidential election set to take place in November. He adds that he won the Democratic presidential nomination fair and square, and that he’s confident he’s the best person to beat Trump.
“I received over 14 million votes, 87% of the votes cast across the entire nominating process. I have nearly 3,900 delegates, making me the presumptive nominee of our party by a wide margin. This was a process open to anyone who wanted to run. Only three people chose to challenge me. One fared so badly that he left the primaries to run as an independent. The other attacked me for being too old and was soundly defeated. The voters of the Democratic Party have voted. They have chosen me to be the nominee of the party. Do we now just say this process didn’t matter? That the voters don’t have a say?”
Voters and fellow Democratic politicians have made several calls for Biden to drop out of the presidential race, including Jerry Madler, Mark Takano and Adam Smith.
