US President Joe Biden said, according to a person close to him, that his public appearances in the coming days will be decisive in his decision to continue his presidential campaign. The reports New York times.

Bloomberg also reported that, according to an anonymous party leader, “dozens of Democratic lawmakers” are considering signing a letter calling on Biden to drop out of the race.

In the coming days, the president will give a television interview to ABC News and hold rallies in Pennsylvania and Wisconsin. After his poor performance in last week’s debate with Donald Trump, he has been under the microscope of the media and his own party. However, there are no indications yet that Biden himself has any doubts about his candidacy.

“He knows that if he has two more shows like he did against Trump, things will look a lot different at the end of the weekend,” according to the conversation with the anonymous person close to the New York Times.

Biden campaign spokespeople have strongly denied that Biden is considering dropping out of the race. A White House spokesman called it “absolutely untrue.” Biden’s team has been trying for days to minimize the damage caused by Trump’s “disastrous” debate performance.

The campaign has several explanations for the poor debate: He allegedly had a cold, was suffering from jet lag, and was ill-prepared for Trump’s behavior.

Watch a brief summary of the Trump-Biden debate here:

Although major party leaders like Barack Obama and Bill and Hillary Clinton announced shortly after the debate that they would continue to support Biden, in recent days a growing chorus of Democrats within the party has publicly shared their doubts. Lloyd Doggett, a Texas congressman, became the first member of Congress to publicly say Biden should make way for someone else.

Senior party figures have also made ambiguous statements. For example, Nancy Pelosi asked Biden in an interview whether appearing at the debate was “a one-time thing or something that happens a lot.”

Jim Clyburn, an influential black leader in the Democratic Party, says he would support Vice President Kamala Harris if Biden drops out of the race. He believes the party should certainly not pass over Harris, its first black female vice president. “We should do everything we can to support her.”

Harris herself says she still fully supports Biden. She said in a statement that she “looks forward to a second term with President Joe Biden.” In CNN polls, which organized the debate, Trump has been outperforming Biden for months. For the first time, Harris is now outperforming Biden in those polls as a potential candidate against Trump. Harris has a better chance of beating Trump than Biden, according to the poll.

All hands are on deck for Democrats now. Biden’s chief of staff, Jeff Zients, has arranged a call with all White House staff, according to US media, to calm things down. Democratic governors from across the country are meeting in Washington today to talk to congressional leaders and Biden himself.

Notably, this also includes candidates who have been mentioned as potential successors to Biden, such as California Gov. Gavin Newsom and Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear.
