  • In the report, the New York Times had claimed that Biden told his allies that he is considering quitting the presidential race

There is no iota of truth in report claiming President Joe Biden is contemplating dropping out of the presidential race, the White House has said.

The White House said this in reaction to a report by the New York Times which asserted that Biden may quit the presidential race after the appalling showing in last week CNN’s presidential debate.

White House Senior Deputy Press Secretary and Deputy Assistant to the president, Andrew Bates, dismissed the report, calling it false.

Posting on X, Bates wrote: “This claim is absolutely false and if we had been given more than 7 minutes we could have communicated this before it was publicized.

“That claim is absolutely false. If the New York Times had provided us with more than 7 minutes to comment we would have told them so.”

In the report, the New York Times had claimed that Biden told his allies that he is considering quitting the presidential race.

The newspaper quoted an anonymous source saying of Biden, “He knows if he has two more events like that, we’re in a different place,” referring to last week’s presidential debate in which Biden did poorly.

According to newspaper, the president’s conversation is the first indication that he is seriously considering whether he can recover after a largely uninspiring and deflating performance on the debate stage in Atlanta.

The newspaper quoted Biden’s ally as saying that the president was painfully aware that he faced an arduous task of convincing voters, donors and the political class that his debate performance was an anomaly.

It added that President Biden had told a key ally that he knew he might not be able to salvage his candidacy if he could not convince the public in the coming days that he is up for the job after a disastrous debate performance last week.

The president, who the ally emphasized is still deeply in the fight for re-election, understands that his next few appearances heading into the holiday weekend must go well, particularly an interview scheduled for Friday with George Stephanopoulos of ABC News and campaign stops in Pennsylvania and Wisconsin.
