President Joe Biden of the United States has told his Democratic Party lawmakers that he cannot step down from being candidate of the party for the presidential election due in November.
The President who has come under pressure to step down his
candidacy after a number of gaffes in a televised debate with his Republican
Party opponent Donald Trump, said Monday that now is not the time to talk about
him stepping down.
There is talk already that should Biden choose to run no
more, he could nominate Vice President Kamala Harris to replace him on the
presidential ticket of the Democratic Party for the November 5 election.
Against such proposition, President Biden, in a letter to
congressional Democrats on Monday, stood firm on his candidacy, demanding an
end to the “intraparty drama” that has torn Democrats apart since his widely
discussed public debate.
“The question of how to move forward has been well-aired for
over a week now; and it’s time for it to end,” Biden wrote in his letter.
Biden’s letter came to light as lawmakers were returning to
Washington where they will decide whether to work with or edge Biden out of the
2024 presidential race.
This comes as a touchy matter at what is described as a
make-or-break time for Biden’s reelection hope and the lawmakers’ and
Democratic Party’s future.
Biden wrote however that rather than expend energy on how
well or badly he did in the presidential debate, the Democratic Party has one
job: to beat the Republican Party’s presidential nominee, Donald Trump.
Biden said in his letter, distributed by his reelection
campaign officials: “We have 42 days to the Democratic Convention and 119 days
to the general election. Any weakening of resolve or lack of clarity about the
task ahead only helps Trump and hurts us. It’s time to come together, move
forward as a unified party, and defeat Donald Trump.”
