According to Canyon News and other overseas media, on June 30 local time, Bill O'Reilly, a famous American TV host, said that President Joe Biden will not seek re-election. O'Reilly gave two reasons: one is that Biden cannot recover from the first US presidential debate in 2024; the other is that fundraising is drying up. It is expected that the Biden-Harris campaign team's public statement is expected to be released on July 1 local time.
However, the profile shows that Bill O'Reilly, a longtime conservative commentator who lost his job at Fox News amid several sexual harassment allegations, may be trying to excite MAGA supporters with an unconfirmed scoop about President Biden.
According to CNN, Biden's family, including first lady Jill Biden, son Hunter Biden and their grandchildren, held a pre-arranged gathering at Camp David and pleaded with the president to continue his fight for re-election. An adviser said Biden's family provided "unequivocal support." Biden's family was disappointed with his "debate preparation team" last week.

Biden withdraws from the election?
O'Reilly, a well-known American TV host, has made public statements on all of his platforms that President Joe Biden will not seek re-election. He added that the campaign has not yet publicly announced the news. He pointed out in his summary of last Friday's debate that Biden made a mistake in the first minute of his speech, saying that he created 15,000 new jobs. He meant to say 15 million, not 15,000. In addition, about 10 minutes into the debate, Biden mixed up billions and trillions. Trump said at the time: "I really don't know what he said, and I don't think he knows."
As of now, the Biden campaign has not announced the exact news. According to CNN, Biden's advisers said that Biden's family, including first lady Jill Biden, son Hunter Biden and their grandchildren, held a pre-arranged gathering at Camp David and pleaded with the president to continue fighting for re-election. An adviser said that Biden's family provided "unequivocal support."
Biden's family is apparently frustrated with the team preparing for President Biden's debate against former President Donald Trump and has discussed whether any of his top advisers should be fired and whether changes should be made to the campaign staff, an adviser said.
However, Biden is known for being loyal and protective of his cronies and does not like to fire aides.
The shock of the CNN debate is still fresh in the minds of many, and the president and his closest associates are in the early stages of dealing with the immediate fallout. If the situation continues to deteriorate and the president becomes convinced that dropping out of the race will avoid weighing down the Democratic Party in the fall, the Biden family’s view that Biden must keep fighting could shift in the coming days.
"The sad truth is that Biden should withdraw from the race for the good of the country he has served for half a century," The Atlanta Journal-Constitution said in an editorial on Sunday. "For President Biden, retirement is necessary."
The Democratic Party's attitude
After days of concern about Biden's poor performance on stage in a debate with Trump, Democratic leaders have firmly rejected calls for the party to choose a younger presidential candidate in the November 5 election.
House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries, who could become speaker next year if his party takes control of the chamber in November, acknowledged Biden's setback but said it was "just a stepping stone to a comeback."
Biden's leading alternative, Delaware Senator Chris Coons, told ABC's "Trump" that Biden needs to stay in the race to ensure he defeats Trump. "I think he's the only Democrat who can beat Donald Trump."
However, New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy, a Democrat who has considered a possible run in 2024 if Biden decides not to run, said he and his wife had dinner with Biden at a fundraiser on Saturday night and that he was confident in supporting the president. However, he mentioned the president's age twice in a brief interview, saying "he's 81."
Democratic National Committee Chairwoman Jaime Harrison and Biden campaign manager Julie Chavez Rodriguez held a call Saturday afternoon with dozens of committee members from across the country, including some of the party’s most powerful members. The call was part pep talk, part planning session for the upcoming national convention, according to two participants in the call who spoke on the condition of anonymity.
The New York Times, citing sources, reported that Democratic donors have begun discussing "secret rules" with political advisers to see if Biden can be removed from the list of presidential candidates before or during the Democratic National Convention.
Data shows that calls for Biden to step down have continued since last Thursday, and a CBS poll after the debate showed that the number of Democrats who believed Biden should not run for president increased by 10 percentage points to 46% from 36% in February.
It is worth noting that after Hillary Clinton made a gaffe at an event on September 11, 2016, she considered the possibility of changing candidates after the convention. In the end, that year, the relatively young Hillary also lost to Trump.
