JAKARTA - Former President of the United States Barack Obama told his allies in recent days Joe Biden's path to winning the presidential election has greatly reduced.
According to him, Biden needs to seriously consider the feasibility of his candidacy, the Washington Post reported on Thursday, July 18, citing several people who were given an explanation of Obama's thoughts.
After Joe Biden's poor performance in the presidential candidate debate, his support for him has decreased. The latest news says the Democratic Party's main donors have postponed donations of 90 million US dollars (Rp1.45 trillion) promised for President Joe Biden's campaign as long as he remains a presidential candidate from the party due to increasing pressure.
Based on media reports, pressure on Biden to end his re-election campaign has escalated as around 12 Democratic Party members on Capitol Hill issued public calls for Biden to step down following poor debate performance against former President Donald Trump.
Donations to the pro-Biden super PAC, Future Forward, cover several US double-digit donations, two people familiar with the matter told the New York Times newspaper.
However, the political action committee did not respond to requests for comment and did not explain the donors who decided to withhold their funding. Future Forward is reportedly taking a break on major decisions until the deadlock is finalized.

And I've been around this country for several reasons, first, to make sure I'm right that the party still wants me to be a candidate.
