Biden rejects the idea of reconsidering his decision to stay in the race.

President Joe Biden maintained that the race remains just as winnable as before the debate, saying that polling shows "there's no wide gap between us. It's essentially a toss-up race." | Jacquelyn Martin/APPresident Joe Biden dismissed mounting concerns within his party over his age and ability to run for reelection, insisting in an interview Monday that he is showing Americans that he has “command of all my faculties.

Since then, more than a dozen Democratic lawmakers have called for Biden to drop out, with some worrying that he no longer has a path to victory in November.
