Biden tells Hill Democrats he 'declines' to step aside and says it's time for party drama 'to end'

President Joe Biden, in a letter to congressional Democrats, stood firm against calls for him to drop his candidacy and called for an “end” to the intraparty drama that has torn apart Democrats since his dismal public debate performance.

Biden’s efforts to shore up a deeply anxious Democratic Party came on Monday as lawmakers are returning to Washington and confronting a choice: decide whether to work to revive his campaign or edge out the party leader, a makeor-break time for his reelection and their own political futures.

Biden wrote in the twopage letter that “the question of how to move forward has been well-aired for over a week now. And it’s time for it to end”.
