Biden tells Democrats in Congress he's staying in presidential race

President Joe Biden wrote a letter to congressional Democrats on Monday explaining that he's staying in the presidential race despite growing calls from members of his own party to drop out after his debate performance.

“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,” Biden wrote in the letter.

Biden posted the full letter on his X account and wrote that "it’s time to come together, move forward as a unified party, and defeat Donald Trump."
