The White House on June 29 denied rumors that President Joe Biden returned to Camp David to consult his family members about the future of his re-election campaign.

The statement came after NBC News reported that the president had visited Camp David to meet with family members and decide whether to continue or end his campaign early due to growing concerns over his debate performance, citing five anonymous sources.
