Biden is going to say 100% “I am not going anywhere” until he decides go. Showing any doubt ends it for him.
He is trying to stick it out and forestall further defections. But I don’t think the ironclad assurance means anything other than that he hasn’t decided to step down yet.
Breaking News: President Biden said in a letter to congressional Democrats that he is "firmly committed to staying in the race," rebuffing calls to drop out.
But the letter shows the weakness of his position: imagine being told months ago that Biden would write such a letter. It is very bad news for his candidacy that he has to write it.
Yeah I don't think this letter changes the dynamic. If the folks who want him out want him out soon they need to find some way he can exit gracefully/save face.

I don't think this is going to stop. Right now we are in a slow bleed...2-3 Democrats say Biden should drop out continuing the bleed. The next day the existence of the bleed convinces 2-3 more democrats to say Biden should drop out.
