President Biden and his top officials have acknowledged an ultimatum from the Democratic Party, stating that the president must demonstrate his fitness for office or potentially face pressure to step down from the race. This comes in the wake of criticism following Biden's lackluster debate performance, which has prompted calls from within his own party for him to consider withdrawing.
A senior campaign adviser expressed concern over what was perceived as Biden's 'deafening silence' in response to the situation. There are growing calls for Biden to address the issues candidly and privately with party members to provide clarity on the situation and reassure supporters.

Rep. Sean Casten of Illinois emphasized the need for more transparency from Biden, stating that mere emails of polling briefs from White House officials are insufficient to address the concerns raised within the party.
Despite the mounting pressure, the Biden campaign sought to reassure supporters by sending out an email clarifying that the president has no intentions of withdrawing from the race at this time.
