President Joe Biden is facing a political crisis within his own party following a disastrous debate performance. His family, including first lady Jill Biden and son Hunter Biden, are pushing him to make changes to his staff and campaign strategy. There have been discussions about firing senior White House adviser Anita Dunn and her husband Bob Bauer, who serve as Biden’s personal lawyer, but White House chief of staff Jeff Zients denies this. Biden’s family is urging him not to drop out of the race, although some advisers and members of the Democratic Party are questioning his ability to continue. Former President Barack Obama’s advice that Biden should step aside did not sit well with the current president. Despite calls to withdraw, Biden has publicly stated his intention to stay in the race. He initially felt energized after a rally in North Carolina, but the gravity of the debate fallout has sunk in, leading to a shift in mood. The family is now focused on rebuilding Biden’s standing and continuing his campaign, while his closest aides are working to maintain support among key Democrats. Throughout this tumultuous period, Biden’s resolve to stay in the race seems unwavering, with his family and supporters rallying behind him.
