President Biden told campaign staff Wednesday that he would stay in the 2024 race to the bitter end, but reportedly told a close ally that he may have to drop out if his campaign can’t get back on track in the coming days.
“I’m in this race to the end and we’re going to win because when Democrats unite, we will always win. Just as we beat Donald Trump in 2020, we’re going to beat him again in 2024,” Biden, 81, told aides to his re-election effort on a call, imploring them to “link arms, let’s get this done — you, me, the vice president, together!”
Vice President Kamala Harris, who also was on the campaign call, said: “We will not back down. We will follow our president’s lead. We will fight, and we will win.”
