Opposition to Democratic candidate President Joe Biden is growing within his party after a televised debate in Atlanta, where he faced Republican candidate Donald Trump.

Many are now demanding that the 81-year-old Biden drop out of the presidential race, though he has reiterated that he has no intention of leaving.

Biden's poor debate performance has been widely criticized in media editorials, and social media reactions have added to the pressure.

In response to the criticisms, Biden acknowledged, "It's true that I could not counter an opponent like Barack Obama with eloquence.

I know there is some displeasure among my supporters and within the party as well, but we will continue to fight against Trump."

There is growing discontent among Democratic leaders, with many members of the Democratic National Committee (DNC) questioning Biden's candidacy and calling for opportunities for younger leaders.

A key decision may be made at the delegates' meeting in Chicago on August 19, according to party sources.
