Odaily News As Biden faces growing calls from prominent Democrats to drop out of the race, a member of his inner circle has flatly denied reports that the president is now more open to ending his campaign and said Biden is ready to re-enter the campaign next week. Anyone who has spoken to Biden in the last 24 hours can tell you thats not true, a senior White House official reportedly said. The official said nothing has changed about Bidens candidacy and campaign, except that a confirmed COVID-19 infection yesterday has kept him home.
