Biden team rejects troop withdrawal talks, vows to stay in presidential election despite setbacks

Amid growing concerns and rumors about a potential withdrawal, the White House has steadfastly denied that President Joe Biden is considering dropping out of the presidential race.

Spokeswoman Karine Jean-Pierre, on Wednesday, said Biden was “clear-eyed and…remains in the race.”

The confirmation comes after a tumultuous week following Biden’s performance in a debate against Donald Trump, which sparked panic in the Democratic Party and fueled speculation about possible replacement candidates.

Polls showing Trump gaining support have further increased the pressure.

Democratic governors, including Wes Moore, Tim Walz and Kathy Hochul, have pledged their continued support, with Walz attesting to Biden’s fitness for office.
