The final decision was made by the President on Saturday evening.
President of the United States Joe Biden, recovering from COVID-19 at his home on the Delaware coast, began to realize Saturday evening that his re-election campaign was faltering.
The publication writes about this Politico with reference to anonymous sources.
The publication writes that the head of the White House has been meeting with his aides over the past few days as they tried to chart a path to victory in November.
However, on Saturday, Biden told his inner circle that he was ready for an alternative ending.
Top advisers Mike Donilon and Steve Ricchetti, deputy chief of staff Anni Tomasini and Anthony Bernal, senior adviser to first lady Jill Biden, were present in Rehoboth during discussions about ending Biden's campaign.
After the decision was made, activity at the Biden campaign increased significantly. The President personally called Vice President Kamali Harris, Chief of Staff Jeff Zints and Campaign Chairman Jen O'Mellie Dillon to inform them of his decision. He also had conversations with White House advisers before officially announcing his decision.
The publication writes that Biden's decision came as a surprise to most other White House and campaign officials, who saw no signs that he wanted to reconsider his participation in the election.
Currently, the US President's entourage is holding many telephone conversations with leaders at various levels. On Monday morning, Zints plans to hold a call with all White House staffers, as well as calls with appointees throughout the executive branch.
“I am very proud to work for President Joe Biden, Vice President Kamala Harris and the American people – along with all of you, the best White House team in history. There is still so much work ahead, and as says President Biden, “There is nothing America can't do when we do it together,” Zints wrote in an email to staff.
Recall that it was previously reported that Speaker of the House of Representatives USA Mike Johnson called on President Joe Biden to resign immediately.
In addition, we previously reported that a majority of Democrats approve of replacing Biden in the election.
