The president faces huge pressure to step aside from his campaign. But what would happen next?
Joe Biden says he will remain in the White House race against Donald Trump, even as Democratic mega donors, grandees and a growing list of lawmakers heap new pressure on him to step aside in the face of declining poll numbers and concern over his age and mental acuity.
This would attract enormous attention, with the risk of highlighting strong divisions between different personalities and ideological factions in the party, not least divisions over the war in Gaza. That would contrast with this week’s slick, tightly co-ordinated Republic convention in Milwaukee, which anointed Trump and his chosen vice-president JD Vance. Past open conventions have triggered chaos, most notably at the DNC in 1968, which also took place in Chicago.
