The drumbeat of pressure on U.S. President Joe Biden to drop out of the presidential race intensified Wednesday with a bombshell report in The New York Times that he had conceded the possibility to a key ally, as well as movement within his own party to demand his withdrawal.

¡°I¡¯m in this race to the end and we¡¯re going to win because when Democrats unite, we will always win,¡± Biden said in a call alongside Vice President Kamala Harris.
