WaPo framing this as Biden is an obstinate old fool when the other guy is a literal felon who tried to overthrow the government.
President Biden made clear that he has little intention of quickly or quietly leaving the presidential race, issuing a blunt warning that if leading Democratic donors and elected officials want to alter his thinking, they are going to have to wage a protracted and public battle.
As Biden digs in, another elected Democrat calls on him to exit racewapo.st The president has warned that if leading Democrats want to alter his thinking about staying in the race, they are going to have to wage a protracted battle. That fight has intensified.

"Biden refuses to go quietly unless voted out of office. This is outrageous." "Trump attempted to overthrow the government when he was voted out, this is old news."

At no point did Biden indicate that a more public battle would alter his thinking, so this is basically a call for more elected Democrats to do that without having any sort of mechanism to force Biden off the ticket.

"Well, I guess we need a protracted and public battle to get him to resign." That's not what he said.

i mean both things are true, and we should be concerned about the former in part *because of* the latter (that is, *because* trump is so bad, it's *particularly* important that we have the strongest possible candidate)

Also, I think he hit the right note on this: "I'm running. You don't like it? Come at me!"
