Biden returns to campaign trail at Philadelphia church as pressure grows for him to exit 2024 race: Live

President Joe Biden is on the campaign trail today, giving a speech at Mount Airy Church of God in Christ in Philadelphia , Pennsylvania before heading to the state capital to meet with union members and local Democrats.

Pennslyvania is a key swing state. Biden is currently polling significantly behind his Republican opponent Donald Trump compared to other swing states.

His plan arrives as he is facing growing pressure to drop out of the 2024 presidential race after his disastrous debate performance in which he appeared frail and, at times, confused.

At least five House Democrats have publicly called for the president to step aside and allow another, younger, candidate to take his place as the Democratic nominee.

Biden has remained adamant that he will run for president and expressed confidence he can defeat Trump.

House minority leader Hakeem Jeffries has scheduled a virtual meeting this afternoon with senior House Democrats to discuss Biden’s path forward, according to reports.
