text:  President Biden and his surrogates trying to ease concerns about whether he should continue his campaign following Thursday night's debate performance. There are real concerns within the Democratic Party and questions about whether President Biden should step aside. But sources close to the president tell me there's only one man who can make that decision, and that is the president himself. And so far, he's showing no signs of backing down. In fact, I'm told he's eager to get back on the debate stage in September.
