WP "Pelosi Informs Democrats of Biden's Imminent Resignation Decision" (Update)

U.S. President Joe Biden is reportedly being persuaded to withdraw from the presidential race, according to the Washington Post (WP) on the 18th (local time).

According to three Democratic insiders familiar with the matter, former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi told California Democrats and House leadership members that President Biden's decision to forgo running for re-election is imminent.

The sources told WP that concerns are spreading within the Democratic Party that if President Biden continues the primary race, the White House could be handed over to former President Donald Trump, the Republican presidential candidate.

President Biden entered isolation yesterday after halting his campaign due to a COVID-19 infection.
