Several people close to President Biden said on Thursday that they believe he has begun to accept the idea that he may not be able to win in November and may have to drop out of the race, bowing to the growing demands of many anxious members of his party.
One of the people close to him warned that the president had not yet made up his mind to leave the race after three weeks of insisting that almost nothing would drive him out. But another said that “reality is setting in,” and that it would not be a surprise if Mr. Biden made an announcement soon endorsing Vice President Kamala Harris as his replacement.
This account is based on interviews with four people close to the president, all of whom described the situation as extremely delicate and spoke on the condition of anonymity to avoid offending the president. Mr. Biden remained in isolation at his vacation home in Rehoboth Beach, Del., after being diagnosed with Covid on Wednesday.
Many other Democrats more distant from the White House said expectations were rising within the party that the president would soon relent, a shift from just days ago when many were in despair about changing his mind. But there was also caution about reading signs from a president with an exceedingly small circle of confidants.

Boo hoo, Coup Flu.
They’ll give him a rash next if he doesn’t get the message. BTW Biden said the vaxx would give full immunity. So I guess he didn’t get it while he forced everyone else to.
.
He was going to drop out, but he got arrested on the porch of a black family.
Let me make sure I understand this story.
A senile man is thinking about making a critical decision—and may make it soon.
Hellooooooo!
Lol.
No Democrat can win this race.. anyone thinking replacing Biden is about winning the WH is being played
Replacing Biden is about trying to salvage the down ballot from a massacre, period.
Hey, NYT LOL.
Well, Dr. Jill will male the decision.
Not the people who matter. Jill hasn’t caved yet.
Various sources have made that same claim over the last few weeks. An equal amount are saying that’s not the case.
Time will tell. Dems running out of time. November looms closer by the hour.
She better make the announcement too, or Joe might let slip how much Trump’s survival factored in to the decision.
Joe might announce he is not running for a second term as President of the Roman Empire.
Would that free up delegates?
Lol.
Oh bull, Dementia Joe ain’t going anywhere
Fight Fight Fight
Yep until the skank gives it up it’s not happening and she hates Kamala.
Either that, or he's been faking all along, and never intended to re-run.
I know, right? First of all, no cop in the late 50s would arrest a nonviolent 15 yo boy for hanging out on or near the porch of a black family, FFS! I wish these interviewers would push back when he spouts these outlandish lies. Instead they sit there with their mouths agape & let him ramble on with his ridiculous stories. Drives me insane!
“But can I still get my ice cream? Just not chocolate, hate that color….”
