WASHINGTON (AA) - President Joe Biden is not considering dropping out of the 2024 presidential race amid calls for withdrawal following his poor performance in last week's debate, according to the White House on Wednesday

"Absolutely, absolutely not," spokeswoman Karine Jean-Pierre told reporters when asked if Biden is considering leaving. "And you heard directly from the campaign as well."

Asked if there is discussion if Biden would resign if he suspended his campaign, the spokeswoman responded, "Absolutely not."

Biden is facing growing pressure to leave the race following his poor performance during a debate Thursday against former President Donald Trump.

Some Democrats believe Biden's candidacy would hurt the party's chances in the November elections.
