Joe Biden's family told him Sunday to fight on after his disastrous debate performance in a verdict delivered at a Camp David gathering for an Annie Leibovitz photoshoot. The president's wife, children and grandchildren were at the presidential retreat as a new poll showed three out of four voters do not believe the 81-year-old should seek a second term in the wake of Thursday night's mumbling, stumbling performance. But instead of counseling the president to announce that he would not seek a second term, the Bidens blamed his staff for failing to prepare him to take on Donald Trump, The New York Times reported. read more

Biden's trip was planned before Thursday's debate. He and first lady Jill Biden are scheduled to join their children and grandchildren there late Saturday. So far, the party's top leaders have offered public support for Biden, including in tweets posted by former presidents Barack Obama and Bill Clinton. Senior congressional Democrats, including Reps. Hakeem Jeffries of New York, Jim Clyburn of South Carolina and Nancy Pelosi of California, have privately expressed concerns about his viability, said two sources apprised of those discussions, even as they all publicly back the president.

But the unfortunate truth is that Biden should withdraw from the race, for the good of the nation he has served so admirably for half a century. read more
