News - CNN: Biden's family encourages him to stay in presidential race

US President Joe Biden’s family on Sunday encouraged the president to stay in the 2024 presidential race and privately discussed whether top aides should be fired on the heels of Biden’s stunningly poor debate performance, CNN has learned from Biden's advisers. Biden’s family, including first lady Jill Biden, son Hunter Biden and their grandchildren, convened at Camp David for a previously scheduled get-together and implored the president to keep fighting in his bid for reelection, Biden advisers told CNN. One adviser described the family members as having offered their “unequivocal support.” The family—clearly frustrated with the team that prepared President Biden ahead of his alarming debate with former President Donald Trump—discussed whether any of Biden’s top advisers should be fired and whether campaign staffing changes should be made, one adviser said.
