“President Biden has become more receptive in the last several days to hearing arguments about why he should drop his re-election bid, after his party’s two top leaders in Congress privately told him they were deeply concerned about his prospects,” the New York Times reports.
“Mr. Biden has not given any indication that he is changing his mind about staying in the race, the Democrats said, but has been willing to listen to rundowns of new and worrying polling data and has asked questions about how Vice President Kamala Harris could win.”
“The accounts suggest that Mr. Biden, privately at least, is striking a more open-minded posture than he did last week when he lashed out at a number of House Democrats who pressed him to step aside.”
Axios: Biden’s political isolation deepens as pressure to step aside builds.
