Already 20 influential members of the Democratic Party have urged Joe Biden to give up the presidential candidacy. The latest setback is Biden’s confirmed corona infection.
Former President of the United States Barack Obama has expressed his concerns in private conversations Joe Biden of the presidential candidacy, reports The Washington Post.
According to the newspaper, Obama has discussed the matter with several people in recent days.
According to Obama, the events of the last few days have weakened Biden’s chances of winning, the Washington Post writes. Therefore, Biden should seriously consider the reasonableness of the candidacy.
The pressure on Biden has been growing by the day since he failed in a televised debate last month Donald Trump against. The party’s support is crumbling after several leading Democrats have asked Biden to give up the pursuit of the nomination.
So far, Biden himself has not been ready to give up his pursuit of another presidential term.
On Wednesday night Finnish time, the president’s administration announced that Biden has contracted the corona virus. Previously, Biden has said that he could consider giving up his candidacy if he fell ill.
The Republican Party will officially nominate Trump as the presidential candidate next night, Finnish time. Trump’s campaign has gained an extra boost since he was the target of an assassination attempt over the weekend.
The Democratic Party’s presidential candidate will be confirmed at the party meeting starting on August 9.
