It's worth noting that Obama is merely feeling concerned like the rest of us; he has not called for Joe to drop out

NYT- Biden Told Ally That He Is Weighing Whether to Continue in the Race

President Biden has told a key ally that he knows he may not be able to salvage his candidacy if he cannot convince the public in the coming days that he is up for the job after a disastrous debate performance last week.

The president, who the ally emphasized is still deeply in the fight for re-election, understands that his next few appearances heading into the holiday weekend — including an interview scheduled for Friday with George Stephanopoulos of ABC News and campaign stops in Pennsylvania and Wisconsin — must go well.

“He knows if he has two more events like that, we’re in a different place” by the end of the weekend, said the ally, referring to Mr. Biden’s halting and unfocused performance in the debate. The person spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss a sensitive situation.

The conversation is the first indication to become public that the president is seriously considering whether he can recover after a devastating performance on the debate stage in Atlanta on Thursday. Concerns are mounting about his viability as a candidate and whether he could serve as president for another four years.

Claiming that he'll "keep fighting" is not a confirmation that said ideas aren't obviously happening behind the scenes. The Democrats are still most likely weighing all options before they decidedly choose to have Biden replaced or not. They certainly wouldn't make a decision before tomorrow due to the national holiday:

Clyburn says he would support ‘mini-primary’ ahead of DNC if Biden steps aside
“You can actually fashion the process that’s already in place to make it a mini-primary, and I would support that absolutely,” Rep. Jim Clyburn said.

Politico

Democratic Rep. Jim Clyburn, a top ally of Joe Biden, said Wednesday that if the president steps aside from the election, he would expect to see a “mini-primary” ahead of the Democratic National Convention with Kamala Harris and Democratic governors vying for the top two spots on the party’s ticket.

Responding to a question on CNN about whether Harris should be the party’s automatic nominee if the president were to step aside or if there should be a “mini-primary” between several candidates, Clyburn (D-S.C.) said: “Well, I think we’re going to have a mini-primary leading into the convention,” describing the virtual roll call needed to appear on the Ohio ballot.

He added, “You can actually fashion the process that’s already in place to make it a mini-primary, and I would support that absolutely. We can’t close that down, and we should open up everything for the general election.”

I'd expect for them to self-reflect over the coming week or so, and after the British & French elections have taken place, we'll have a more solid answer on the state of the democratic candidate.

If Biden doesn't drop out and be replaced with someone much younger there's little question that Trump will win another 4 years. None.

Biden can't survive this. Hell, he quite literally could be dead or at the very least his mental condition will continue to degrade. It doesn't fucking get better.

I simply refuse to believe that Biden will stay on. Doing so virtually guarantees a Trump victory.

How bad does the polling data have to get???

Does Biden want to be remembered as the man who enabled a fascist dictatorship in the United States? That's what his legacy will be, unless he does the honourable thing!
