The pressure around the sitting president is growing – Democrats

Experts predict that Thursday’s press conference could be decisive for Bidney’s presidential candidacy.

Democratic Senator Peter Welch believes that Joe Biden must withdraw from the presidential race.

Welch writes about it in his opinion piece in the Washington Post.

Welch is the first Democratic senator to directly call on Biden to withdraw from the election.

– For the sake of the country, I urge President Biden to withdraw from the race, Welch writes.

Today, Biden will hold a press conference and answer reporters’ questions about the NATO summit in Washington.

According to experts, everything at the NATO meeting the looks have been Biden’s okay. Thursday’s press conference may be decisive for Biden’s continuation.

Suddenly, everyone is calling for Biden to step down

On Wednesday, the actor George Clooney withdrew his support from Biden’s presidential campaign and called on Biden to withdraw

– I love Joe Biden. But we need a new candidate, Clooney wrote in a post published on Wednesday of The New York Times in his opinion text.

Former Speaker of Congress, Democrat Nancy Pelosi hinted in an interview on Wednesday that Biden should reconsider his presidential bid.

Pelosi said that the Democratic Party is encouraging Biden to withdraw from the race, but the final decision will be made by Biden himself.
