President Joe Biden's Political World is Collapsing
Biden Under Pressure to Withdraw Reelection Bid
Breaking News
WASHINGTON (July 18, 2024, 10:12 AM PDT) - President Joe Biden is facing increasing pressure from Democratic leaders to reconsider his reelection bid, with some in his party openly calling for him to step down amid a mounting scandal that has rocked his presidency.
The crisis stems from a recent bombshell report that alleges Biden engaged in unethical conduct during his time as Vice President. The report, which was released by a nonpartisan ethics watchdog group, accuses Biden of using his position to benefit his family members.
Biden has denied any wrongdoing, but the allegations have taken a significant toll on his public image and have cast doubt on his ability to lead the country for a second term.
In a statement released Monday afternoon, Biden said he has no intention of stepping back from his bid for reelection.
"I am confident that I can overcome these challenges and continue to lead our country forward," Biden said.
