It took a week, but Joe Biden has finally given a definitive answer about the future of his campaign. As I’ve suspected all along, he’s not going anywhere. During a call on Wednesday, the president proclaimed that “no one is pushing me out” and that he’s in the race until the bitter end.
Democrats are going to need a stiff drink after this announcement.
President Biden on campaign call that just wrapped, per person on the call:
“Let me say this as clearly as I possibly can as simply and straightforward as I can: I am running…no one’s pushing me out. I’m not leaving. I’m in this race to the end and we’re going to win.”

It doesn’t get much clearer than that. Biden is not dropping out, and Kamala Harris is not dancing through the door to save the day. Democrats are stuck with what they’ve got.
