Biden presidential bid has to end
Among the growing voices against President Joe Biden, what may further shock him is that this opposition is from several of his close advisors and even members of his campaign team. NBC News has reported that three members who are part of his campaign team feel in private that he has to step down. Many have felt that he has been unable to improve his performance and increase his popularity after the first presidential debate. This opposition from even his campaign team has come at a time when Donald Trump continues to attack the president and increase his campaign across the country and more specifically in the swing states.

After the first presidential debate, Biden’s popularity ratings have fallen further. There have been various questions raised on his cognitive decline. During recent times, there have been many gaffes from Biden. It has also been reported that donations are drying up with many donors refusing to continue their support to the party.

It is believed that he has failed in this regard and it has only led to further deterioration in his support levels.
