Biden may withdraw from the presidential race this weekend

Biden may withdraw from the presidential race this weekend
Pressure on Joe Biden from Democrats, donors and close friends will convince him to drop out of the race, members of his party have told Axios.

The decision could come as soon as this weekend, US newspaper Sky News reported.

While he is publicly defiant, top Democrats say that privately, Joe Biden has accepted calls to step down after poor poll results and unaffordable scrutiny.

"His choice is to be one of the heroes of history, or be confident in the fact that there will never be a Biden presidential library, " one of his close friends told Axios.

"I pray he does the right thing," he added. 

An AP poll released yesterday found that nearly two-thirds of Democrats want another candidate.
