The pressure campaign against US President Joe Biden from within his own party has reached such intensity that the 81-year-old may suspend his reelection campaign in a matter of days, Axios has reported. The embattled president’s retreat offered no respite from the rising tide of voices urging him to end his campaign. Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer and former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi have both contacted Biden and told him that he cannot beat former President Donald Trump in this November’s presidential election. Some of Biden’s friends and associates believe that the president may bow out of the race as soon as this weekend. Nearly two-thirds of Democrats want Biden out of the race, according to an Associated Press poll published on Wednesday. The campaign to force Biden out of the race began immediately after his CNN-hosted debate with Trump last month when he appeared confused and struggled to complete sentences during the primetime showdown, his voice weak and his mouth hanging agape. Trump has risen in most polls since surviving an assassination attempt on Saturday, and currently holds a four-point advantage over Biden, according to an Emerson College survey published on Thursday. The Emerson poll also showed Trump leading Biden in seven crucial swing states that will decide the outcome of the election.
