President Joe Biden’s campaign reaffirmed his commitment on Thursday to remain in the presidential race, despite media speculation that top Democrats privately asked him to reconsider his 2024 candidacy.

“President Biden has given us the answer that he’s staying in the race, and we’re supporting him,” Rep. Joyce Beatty (D-Ohio), campaign surrogate, told reporters at a news conference in Milwaukee.
