Biden Considers Leaving Presidential Race

President Biden has reportedly told a key ally he is considering leaving the race for President if he cannot salvage the public's perception of his cognitive ability, the New York Times reports. After his debate performance on June 27, where he was perceived even by his own party as stilted and meandering, there have been private hand-wringing from the donor class, congressional Democrats, and former Obama officials, who all believe that the public's negative view of his age could push them to vote for his rival, former President Donald Trump. Representative Lloyd Doggett (D-TX) has been the first in-office congressional Democrat to state that Biden should step aside. While others have said that Biden may step aside, Doggett was the first to make a statement publicly.
