It is important to note that concerns were mounting about Biden's viability after his devastating performance in Atlanta, according to a New York Times (NYT) report. According to the NYT report, President Biden has spoken with a close ally that he may stick with the campaign, realizing that it would be difficult to salvage his reputation after a poor showing in the presidential debate.
On Wednesday, Jean-Pierre emphasised President Biden's recent interactions with supporters, stating that although he has faced difficult times, his record and achievements as a whole should not be minimized.

She told reporters at the White House. He recognizes that it is reasonable for people to pose that issue,” she said.
