There are calls for US President Biden to withdraw from the presidential election. However, it is expected that he will obtain an official nomination as a party candidate in the form of online voting as originally scheduled at the end of this month, which is prior to the Democratic Party convention being held. The four people involved in the nomination process revealed it to Reuters.
It is common for both the Democratic Party and the Republican Party to officially nominate candidates at the party convention, and the Democratic Party will hold this year's party convention in Chicago on August 19. However, the flow of Mr. Biden being nominated a few weeks before that was announced long before the lackluster debate on 6/27.
