In letter to congressional Democrats, Biden says he’s ‘firmly committed’ to staying in the race

President Biden on Monday sent a defiant letter to congressional Democrats, saying he is “firmly committed” to staying in the presidential race, pushing back on members of his own party who’ve called for him to bow out.

“The question of how we move forward has been well aired for over a week now,” Mr. Biden wrote in the two-page letter released by his campaign. “And it’s time for it to end. We have one job. And that job is to beat Donald Trump.”

“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,” the president wrote.
