Joe Biden is said to be in 'denial' about having to withdraw from the presidential election following his dismal debate performance last week, as some of his campaign donors become ever more worried about his mental acuity.
The 81-year-old commander-in-chief has insisted he is staying in the race amid calls from members of his own party to step aside and hand the reins over to a younger Democrat.
But even those who are publicly vouching for Biden have admitted in private that there is no path forward with him at the top of the ticket, according to the Washington Post.
A donor adviser has now estimated that 'for every 10 people who think he should exit, one thinks he should stay.'
Others have suggested that even Biden knows on some level that he is doomed.
'I think he's focused on recovering,' one person who spoke with the president on the Fourth of July told the Post.
'But I personally think he's still in the denial phase of grief.'
For five days after the debate, the president had only given 32 minutes of combined public comments - all of which were scripted.
At one of those appearances, at a $100million East Hampton mansion, donors were left stunned when Biden described a French cemetery in Normandy as 'Italian,' insiders said.
He then only spoke for six minutes before leaving without taking any questions.

Nothing can stop you!
Bunch of ageists on the left.
Hang in there Brandon, the alternatives are even more scary!
The long and short of it is DC power ‘elites’ decided Biden can’t beat Trump so they’re dumping him.
Biden’s just as incompetent today do as he was 6 months or year ago. The press didn’t ‘open their eyes’ after all this time - they got new marching orders.
By now, watching his replies to Stephanopoulos, he showed an ego maniac selfish old guy.
Frightened or not, if Biden chooses to stick it out, nothing they can do. In fact, these retards may have fatally weakened him. But that’s the thing about politics. Potential rivals smell blood in the water, and everyone spins his own fantasy scenario with himself as the conquering hero, whether Gretchen Whitmer, Gavin Newsom, Josh Shapiro, Mark Warner or Kamala Harris. All are laser focused on their own title shot. But if Biden stays on, he’ll get every dime he needs and probably 2x as much as Trump, given that Democrat donors really do think Trump is literally Hitler.
It is a soft coup.
But the polls say that Biden gained on Trump after the debate! /sarc
They really think we are stupid.
They can’t get rid of Biden! He was the first black woman to serve with the first black president. How many other people in the world can say that?
“ Bunch of ageists on the left.”
Yes, that’s exactly what we throw at them .
The sniveling leftist would use these tactics if our side had a vacant brained candidate .
Throw their tactics in their face.
“You no good Dems hate old people and want them removed from the earth . Hey Dems, have YOU NO SHAME!!
WHY DO YOU HATE OLD PEOPLE???!!!
“ he’ll get every dime he needs and probably 2x as much as Trump, ”
Ridiculous. You do know that Trump recently brought in close to 1/2 billion after a recent ruling? That was within a week’s time.
We need motivate him to stay. I don’t think he is able. Come on Brandon!!! You can do it!!! Hold your head up high and shuffle to the graveyard!
Lots of wholesale lying going on and pretending as if Brandon’s supporters and propagandists didn’t know Biden was non compos mentis for the last 4-5 years or so.
Keep up the good work!
Rats are in denial that they have been propping up a demented fool for the past 3 years. He campaigned while in hiding and only managed to ‘win’ due to a lot of shenanigans in a few key polling places.
Sorry, but you can’t get a refund on your lottery ticket when you don’t like the result.
Once it’s settled that Biden is not withdrawing, the media will get back in line and portray him as the “comeback kid”. And if Fetterman can win, so can Biden.
I hope Trump isn’t becoming overconfident.
[Ridiculous. You do know that Trump recently brought in close to 1/2 billion after a recent ruling? That was within a week’s time.]
NEW YORK (AP) — Donald Trump ‘s campaign says it outraised President Joe Biden in the year’s second quarter, with a reported haul of $331 million.
That number bests the $264 million that Biden’s reelection campaign and the Democratic National Committee reported raising over the same period earlier Tuesday, eliminating Biden’s cash advantage and potentially undercutting Biden’s efforts to calm fears within his party after last week’s disastrous debate performance, which has prompted calls for him to step aside.]
