President Joe Biden's campaign reaffirms his decision to stay in the 2024 election, despite mounting pressure from top Democrats to reconsider. Critics believe stepping aside could avert widespread party losses in November.

Isolated with COVID-19, Biden's circle of confidants has reduced further. Confiding in close family members and loyal aides, Biden assesses the increasing calls for him to withdraw.
