During a recent Zoom call with lawmakers from the Congressional Progressive Caucus, President Biden received a note advising him to “Stay positive.

You are sounding defensive.” Sources familiar with the call revealed that Biden humorously read the note aloud to lighten the mood among anxious lawmakers.

Separately, during a tense call with centrist House lawmakers, Biden reportedly became heated, challenging Rep. Jason Crow on national security and asserting his effectiveness in foreign policy, particularly with NATO.

Amid mounting discussions about his withdrawal from the race following a lackluster debate performance, Biden has been described as defensive and irritable by those on recent calls, The Hill has reported.

Despite calls for him to step aside, Biden has expressed determination to stay in the race, prompting mixed reactions among Democrats.
