Biden asks aides if Kamala Harris can win election, source says

As US President Joe Biden flies to Delaware, cutting short his schedule after testing positive for Covid-19, he faces one of the most important decisions of his long political life: Should he heed growing calls from his fellow Democrats to drop out of the race for re-election?

Although anger and panic have been steadily rising within the Democratic Party for nearly three weeks since Biden’s poor performance in the CNN, The White House and the president’s campaign are in a “new place,” several Democratic officials told CNN.

“Private conversations with him are continuing,” a senior Democratic adviser told CNN, speaking on condition of anonymity.

“He’s being receptive. Not as defiant as he is publicly,” the source noted.

“He stopped saying ‘Kamala [Harris, vice-presidente] can’t win’ to ‘Do you think Kamala can win?’. It’s not yet clear where he’ll ‘land’, but he seems to be listening,” he concluded.
