“I want you to know that despite all the speculation in the press and elsewhere, I am firmly committed to staying in this race, to going all the way and beating Donald Trump,” the US president said.
US President Joe Biden on Monday sent a letter to Democratic senators and lawmakers in Congress in which he insisted that he will continue in the presidential race against Donald Trump.
“I want you to know that despite all the speculations “In the press and elsewhere, I am firmly committed to staying in this race, going all the way and beating Donald Trump,” he said.
The Democrat has said that he would not run for president again “if he did not absolutely believe” that he is “the best person to beat” the former Republican president (2017-2021).
Biden said that following criticism for his poor performance in the presidential debate on June 27, he had “extensive conversations with party leaders, elected officials, grassroots members and voters.”
“I have heard the concerns“These are the people’s fears and the fears they express in good faith about what is at stake in these elections. I am not oblivious to them,” said the 81-year-old president, who will seek re-election on November 5 after being confirmed by his party’s delegates this summer.
These days, Biden has said, he has also received numerous “expressions of affection”“I am grateful for the strong and steadfast support of so many elected Democrats in Congress and across the country,” he said.
Biden has also highlighted the importance of primary elections which have been held in several states, in which, without another strong candidate to overshadow him, he emerged victorious. In these processes, he pointed out, he received more than 14 million votes, 87% of the votes cast.
“I have almost 3900 delegates“which makes me our party’s presumptive nominee by a wide margin,” he said, referring to his majority heading into the convention.
The president rejects the idea that this process does not matter: “The voters of the Democratic Party have voted. They have chosen me to be the candidate of the party,” he stressed.
“I feel a deep obligation to the faith and trust of voters “The Democratic Party has put its faith in me to run this year. It was their decision. Not the press, not the pundits, not the big donors, not any select group of people, no matter how well-intentioned. The voters, and only the voters, decide the Democratic Party’s candidate,” he stressed.
