Though Biden says he's staying in presidential race, top Democrats express doubts

Washington — Nearly two weeks after a disastrous debate, President Biden remains adamant that he's staying in the race amid circling doubts and reserved expressions of support from members of his party.

He said this week in a letter to congressional Democrats he's "firmly committed" to running, but some Democrats in Congress are still saying Mr. Biden faces a decision about continuing his campaign, suggesting that his future on the ticket remains an open question.

Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, when asked Wednesday morning whether Mr. Biden has her support to lead the ticket, deferred to Mr. Biden, saying that "it's up to the president" to decide if he's going to run.
