US President Joe Biden is looking forward to "getting back on the campaign trail next week", fortifying his commitment to stick in the race as more Democrats on Friday called for him to step aside as the party nominee.
“The stakes are high, and the choice is clear. Together, we will win," he said. His statement comes amid conflicting reports of conversations within Mr Biden's circle and the larger party about the president's future.
Over the last several weeks, the president has been caught in a whirlwind of political pressure to step down: Calls from within his own party's leaders to withdraw from the race, a loss of big ticket donors and the added pressure that his decision could cost Democrats control of Congress. Nine Democrats called for him to step aside on Friday alone as his campaign pushed back in media appearances.
Mr Biden’s re-election campaign chair Jen O’Malley Dillon appeared on MSNBC's Morning Joe on Friday, telling the program that the president is not withdrawing. “Absolutely, the president’s in this race,” she said when asked about Mr Biden's plans. She described him as "more committed than ever to beat Donald Trump" and said he's the "best person" to take on the former president.

Pelosi said she believes it is important for the president and his aides to understand that efforts to remove Biden will not end even after the Republican National Convention ends.
A source familiar with the matter said Mr. Biden was "angry" with Ms. Pelosi. The source said Biden's anger grew after Lofgren, a longtime Pelosi ally, released a letter asking him to withdraw. CNN has reached out to both Pelosi and the Biden campaign for comment on this article.
It is noteworthy that the two men, who are the two leading figures in the Democratic Party and who have long been aligned on legislation for Mr. Biden's key policy issues, are noteworthy.
Vice President Harris' aides also expressed displeasure with Pelosi. He expressed displeasure at Pelosi's comments about the expedited process of finding a new candidate if Biden steps down.
For Harris' aides, this "process" means bypassing the vice president if Biden steps back.
