Biden Tells Campaign Staff: ‘No One Is Pushing Me Out … I’m Not Leaving’; Second House Democrat Urges Him To Quit Race – Live

Biden: ‘No one is pushing me out … I’m not leaving’Joe Biden vowed to stay in the presidential race and continue his re-election bid, telling his staffers: “No one is pushing me out,” according to multiple reports.

In a call on Wednesday following his lackluster performance during last week’s presidential debate and amid growing panic from Democratic donors and lawmakers, Biden said:

Let me say this as clearly as possibly can, as simply and straightforward as I can: I am running.

Biden went on to add:

No one is pushing me out … I’m not leaving. I’m in this race to the end and we’re going to win.

We will not back down. We will follow our president’s lead. We will fight and we will win. Joe Biden has devoted his life to fighting for the people of our country. In this moment, I know all of us are ready to fight for him.
