Washington. After Biden's disappointing performance in the first debate between President Joe Biden and his Republican rival former President Donald Trump before the presidential election, discussions have started in the Democratic Party to reconsider his candidacy. At the same time, the White House said that Biden felt cold and sore throat during the debate.

This election is between two people: Obama

Politico's report shows that behind the scenes, there is a search for an alternative to Biden. Former President Barack Obama has also admitted that Biden could not perform well, although he said that failures happen in debates. Obama posted, "This election is between two people. One of them has struggled for the common people all his life, while the other person only thinks about himself.'

What did President Biden say about contesting the election?

Meanwhile, Biden said on Friday that he is going to defeat Republican rival Donald Trump in the November presidential election.

He gave no indication that he would consider dropping out of the race after his weak performance in the debate. "If I didn't believe with all my heart that I could do this job, I wouldn't run for re-election. The stakes are too high," he said at a rally a day after the debate with Trump.

What is the opinion of the donors of the Democratic Party?

According to Politico's report, more than half a dozen major donors have stressed that the party must do something. One donor said bluntly, "Biden should withdraw from the presidential race." However, despite the growing pressure, some prominent Democrats stood by Biden.

Illinois Governor JB Pritzker and California Governor Gavin Newsom stressed the importance of party unity.

Biden will have a second debate with Trump on September 10 

Meanwhile, Biden campaign chairwoman Jen O'Malley Dillon said Biden presented a positive vision for America's future. She described Trump's rhetoric as divisive. Democratic consultant Stephanie Cutter said, President Biden is the Democratic nominee. One debate performance won't change that.

The Biden campaign director said Biden would hold a second debate with Trump on September 10. Hakeem Jeffries, the leader of the Democratic Party in the US House of Representatives, avoided giving a direct answer when asked if he still had confidence in Biden's candidacy.
