Biden Makes Pitch in Pennsylvania as Pressure Rises in Party
- President began campaigning in the crucial swing state Sunday
- Democrats in Congress plan meetings to discuss Biden’s run
President Joe Biden faces a fresh round of hazards from members of his own party as he seeks to salvage his embattled reelection bid and fend off calls from Democratic lawmakers to step aside.
Biden, 81, remains defiant that he will continue his White House run against Donald Trump, despite a firestorm of concerns over his age and mental acuity sparked by his debate performance more than a week ago. But frank discussions scheduled among elected Democrats, including a meeting of House members on Sunday afternoon, may pose new risks to the president’s political future.
