WASHINGTON - A group of business and civic leaders urged U.S. President Joe Biden to end his reelection bid in a letter to the White House on Friday, a day after its CEO said members would still back him if he continued to run, the Washington Post reported.
The 81-year-old Democratic president on Friday said he can still beat Trump, 78, in the Nov. 5 U.S. presidential election, as he seeks to move on from his shaky debate performance last week, including a closely watched television interview set to air later on Friday. The Leadership Now Project's Friday letter as reported praised Biden's decades of public service but cited profound risks to U.S. and global stability in this year's election.
On Thursday, the group's chief executive Daniella Ballou-Aares told CNN she expected members would continue to support Biden if he remains in the race, according to the Post.Scan QR code to install app
