He’s holding out for a better golden parachute 

It's not over yet bro ...he will be pressured to step aside and your chances will improve. I admit, I am hoping for Biden to stay in it.

 The freaking wife has me worried saying Trump will lose against anyone else.   We were just arguing this point.

Biden has botched his comeback plan. Now the calls to replace him are growing.

President Joe Biden has not quieted the doubters in his party.

A sprint of postdebate activity hasn't been the fix Biden hoped it would be.

Several new reports say top Democratic leaders have privately told Biden that he's toast.

President Joe Biden has desperately tried to convince his fellow Democrats that he's still their best hope in a furious three-week sprint after his disastrous debate.

He hasn't done it. Each time it seems like Biden might have finally closed the door just enough, another detractor bursts through and the cycle begins anew.

On Wednesday, it was Rep. Adam Schiff of California, who became the highest-profile Democratic member of Congress to publicly call on Biden to step aside. The day ended with a flurry of reports that party bigwigs — Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, and House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries — all delivered grim assessments of the president's chances directly to him in recent days.

I am told Chuck Schumer had a blunt one-on-one conversation with Biden Saturday afternoon in Rehoboth. Schumer forcefully made the case that it would be best if Biden bowed out of the race.

Schumer's office wouldn't comment on the specifics of the conversation, telling me only,…

Biden has repeatedly said he's not going anywhere. After avoiding the press more than his recent predecessors, Biden sat down for two high-profile interviews. He's been granted even more sit-downs since then. He held a roughly hourlong news conference after the NATO summit concluded. And on top of it all, Biden has campaigned across the nation.

"Joe Biden is his party's nominee. He's the President of the United States. He's running for reelection. Baseless conjecture from anonymous sources isn't a scoop," TJ Ducklo, a Biden campaign spokesperson, wrote on Twitter, responding to an Axios report saying Biden would be persuaded to drop out. "Tonight a convicted felon will talk about how he'll make people's lives worse if he gains power. Let's focus."

Quentin Fulks, Biden's deputy campaign manager, told reporters that the president's campaign was squarely focused on him being the nominee.

"The vice president is a part of the Biden-Harris ticket," Fulks told reporters on the sidelines of the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee. "Our campaign is not working through any scenarios where President Biden is not at the top of the ticket."

It still hasn't been enough. It's mainly because, at best, Biden has plodded through. At worst, the events that were supposed to reassure Democrats that he's capable of mounting a serious campaign have instead provided more evidence that he's struggling. As Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont, who remains supportive of the president, told The New Yorker, Biden can sometimes struggle to string sentences together.

During the recent flurry of activity, Biden referred to Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin as "the Black man." He called Vice President Kamala Harris "Vice President Trump." He called Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy "President Putin." Sometimes he quickly corrects himself, but he often just trails off.

Meanwhile, former President Donald Trump has experienced the best stretch of any campaign he's mounted. Trump is posting the strongest numbers for a GOP presidential nominee in over two decades. After his allies spent months portraying Biden as weak, Republicans have rallied around Trump's defiant response to an assassination attempt.

And she thought Hillary would win too..... So she doesn't really have a good track record...... And you will definitely be proven wrong without a doubt.

Keep the dream alive brother... Prolong that agony

  From what I've researched.  .  any other contenders fair even worse than Biden... except for maybe Kamala of all people.  ...no worries.    The Trump campaign will just have to do a few adjustments that's all. .. They were basing it on facing Biden

Gavin polls higher than all the non-Trump Republican candidates?
