Obama has conveyed to allies that Biden needs to consider the viability of his campaign but has also made clear that the decision is one Biden needs to make. The former president has taken calls in recent days from members of congressional leadership, Democratic governors and key donors to discuss their concerns about his former vice president.
Some Democrats hope Biden, off the campaign trail after testing positive for Covid-19, will take a fresh look at the trajectory of the race and his legacy over the coming days. Over the past week, Schumer and Jeffries, both of New York, have spoken privately to the president, candidly laying out the concerns of Democrats on Capitol Hill.
Major political donors, particularly in California, have been putting heavy pressure on the president’s campaign and members of Congress, according to one Democratic strategist. To be sure, many want Biden to stay in the race. And the Democratic National Committee is pushing ahead with plans for a virtual vote to formally make Biden its nominee in the first week of August, ahead of the Democratic National Convention, which begins Aug. 19.
