President Joe Biden has become more receptive in the last several days to hearing arguments about why he should drop his reelection bid, Democrats briefed on his conversations said Wednesday, after his party’s two top leaders in Congress privately told him they were deeply concerned about his prospects.
Biden has not given any indication that he is changing his mind about staying in the race, the Democrats said, but has been willing to listen to rundowns of new and worrying polling data and has asked questions about how Vice President Kamala Harris could win.
The accounts suggest that Biden, privately at least, is striking a more open-minded posture than he did last week when he lashed out at a number of House Democrats who pressed him to step aside.
Even more concerning to Democrats is data they have received in recent days that reveals the extent of the political damage that could come to the party’s incumbents from remaining supportive of Biden, with one poll suggesting that voters are deeply distrustful of elected officials who vouch for the president’s mental capacity and endorse him.
One Biden adviser, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss sensitive internal discussions, said that the decision came down to hard facts and that there were three that mattered: polling, cash and which states are in play. And, as this adviser put it, none of those are trending in the right direction for Biden.

I believe that the keynote speaker at the DIMocRAT convention will be Clarabell Clown or similar.
He was the selected one so let them keep him. The longer he stays, the more “woke” might actually wake the heck up and smell the corruption.
Check’s gotta clear first.
I hope he stays in the race - despite the pleas of Schiff and Schumer to drop out.
He is the best candidate Trump could hope to run against - as every day Biden performs gaff after gaff and looks more demented and feeble.
This Covid ruse is a cover - to allow Biden to either save face by dropping out “under doctor’s orders” (the only reason he said he’d leave the race) - or give the Democrats time to strategize while keeping hidden - and his dementia out of the public view for a while.
Where is your mask Joe? You really are a phony.
Sensitive internal discussions if he stays in the race we can’t pull another rigging.
Joe probably is, but how about “DrJill” and Hunter?
