In the wake of his disastrous debate, at least 25 Democratic members of Congress are said to be ready to call on Biden to step down.

This comes as The New York Times reports Biden told a key ally that he was weighing whether or not to remain in the race. Les Trent reports: "The president is reportedly acknowledging today that he may be forced to drop out.

The president has privately acknowledged that the next stretch of days are going to be so critical to the question of whether he can save his re-election campaign." The White House is hitting back. "He's moving forward with his campaign and anything else that we're hearing or that's being reported is absolutely false.

But there's no question there are growing signs of a mutiny from within his own party.

At least 25 House Democrats are ready to call on President Biden to drop out of the race." Biden world's all-out panic over the president's re-election chances.

Democratic Party strategist Melissa DeRosa is among those calling on him to go. "There's a lot of anger out there right now from rank-and-file Democrats.

At the Biden family, top advisors in the White House and on the campaign trail who have been with him in the room, who have been aware of this and who have been misleading the American public." Biden's interview, coming Friday with ABC's George Stephanopoulos, is seen as a make-or-break opportunity for the president. "Still working out the details.

Of course, this will be the first broadcast interview since the debate.

So many questions for the president you see coming in from his allies.

If Joe Biden does bow out, what then?

New polls show that VP Kamala Harris now has a better chance of beating Trump than Biden.

She actually appeared better positioned to take on Trump than Gavin Newsom, than Gretchen Whitmer, than Pete Buttigieg." Is President Biden considering stepping down? "Absolutely not." White House Press Secretary Corinne Jean-Pierre faced another barrage of tough questions today. "Why doesn't the president just come here right now and answer for himself?

We would invite the president to come here and tell us directly." "Noted.

Noted.

Noted, Kelly.

He's awake.

That's inappropriate.

Thank you, Kelly." And today, the president and Vice President Kamala Harris got on a call with campaign staff members for what's being described as a pep talk.

The president reportedly wrapped things up saying, "Let's go win this."
