Democrats in the U.S. Congress are grappling with concerns about their chances in the upcoming November 5 election amid fears about President Joe Biden's re-election bid. Despite some calls within his party to step aside, the 81-year-old Biden has firmly rejected such suggestions, asserting he will not withdraw from the race. A recent Reuters and Ipsos poll revealed that one-third of registered Democratic voters think Biden should withdraw from the race, citing concerns about his age. 59% believe he is too old for government work. The poll indicated that Biden's potential replacements did not perform any better in a hypothetical matchup against Trump, with both Biden and Trump polling at 40%.
