President Joe Biden is attempting to stop the discussion about whether he will drop out. It's not working, but he did write a letter

indicating he's not dropping out. We were going to, uh, we are going to take a look at the letter

and then I also want to talk about some of the aspects of it that make more sense and some that make less sense

President Biden sending this letter to fellow Democrats and he says now that you have returned from the July 4th recess I want you

to know that despite all the speculation in the press and elsewhere I am firmly committed

to staying in this race to running this race to the end and to beating Donald Trump. I have had

extensive conversations with the leadership of the party elected officials

rank and file members and most importantly Democratic voters. I have heard the concerns people have

their good faith fears and worries about what's at stake. I'm not blind to them.

Believe me I know better than anyone the responsibility and burden the nominee of the party

carries talking about how he previously carried it as well but he says that he is

going to stay in I can respond to all this by saying clearly and unequivocally I wouldn't be running

again if I did not absolutely believe I was the best person to defeat Donald

Trump in 2024 we had a Democratic nomination process and the

voters have spoken clearly and decisively. I received over 14 million votes.

87% of votes cast across the entire nominating process, I have nearly 3,900 delegates making

me the presumptive nominee by a wide margin.

Adding, this was a process open to anyone who wanted to run.

Only three people chose to challenge me.

One fared so badly that he left the primaries to run

as an independent.

Another attacked me for being too old and was defeated.
