President Joe Biden is facing growing pressure to drop out of the 2024 presidential race following his debate performance last week.

A handful of top congressional Democrats have signaled a desire for Biden to exit the race over concerns about his age and ability to beat Donald Trump in November.

Biden has pushed back against his critics, saying he is still the best person for the job.
