‘End the drama’: Read Biden’s letter to congressional Democrats

ATLANTA, Ga. (Atlanta News First) - President Joe Biden sent a letter to Congressional Democrats on Monday, calling on his party to “end the drama” surrounding his reelection campaign and get behind him to defeat GOP presumptive presidential nominee Donald Trump this November.

Biden’s efforts to shore up a deeply anxious Democratic Party came Monday as lawmakers are returning to Washington and confronting a choice: decide whether to work to revive his campaign or edge out the party leader, a make-or-break time for his reelection and their own political futures.

Georgia may be legal battleground state if Biden withdraws from race

A memo from the conservative Heritage Foundation highlights Georgia as one of the states in which a battle could erupt should President Joe Biden cancel his reelection campaign.

Anxiety is running high as top-ranking Democratic lawmakers are ing calls for Biden to step aside despite his defiance. At the same time, some of the president’s most staunch ers are redoubling the fight for Biden’s presidency, insisting there’s no one better to beat Trump in what many see as among the most important elections of a lifetime.

Biden continues facing intense pressure to revitalize his reelection campaign after his recent debate performance in Atlanta against Trump. But his campaign nonetheless announced after the debate it has raised $264 million in the second quarter and has $240 million on hand.

The reelection campaign for Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris said the $124 million raised in the month of June is “the campaign’s best month of the cycle.”

“This historic fundraising operation continues to be powered by a robust and growing grassroots operation, with more than half of the total amount raised in the second quarter coming from grassroots donors – a clear indication of the strong enthusiasm behind the Biden-Harris ticket,” the campaign said. “This second quarter haul is $75 million more than Team Biden-Harris’ raise in the first quarter of 2024.”
