On July 3, 2024, President Biden attended a ceremony honoring descendants of Civil War soldiers. Following a lackluster debate performance on June 27, Biden faced calls to withdraw from the Democratic Party, but he assured his campaign team that he is still in the race. Biden met with 25 Democratic governors to reaffirm his commitment to running for president, with some governors voicing their support after the meeting. White House spokesperson Karine Jean-Pierre confirmed that Biden will not withdraw from the race, while various polls reflect a tightening race against Trump. Despite some Democratic lawmakers expressing concerns, Biden's discussions with key figures like Jim Clyburn suggest continued party support, with Clyburn mentioning that if Biden were to withdraw, he would endorse Vice President Kamala Harris as a candidate.
