White House aides and Biden campaign staff are reportedly "miserable" as fear mounts that President Biden will be unable to continue his re-election campaign or serve for a second term.
The latest report of worsening tensions inside the White House comes from Axios, which reported on Friday that morale is low among staffers as communications with higher ups are deteriorating.

All eyes are on Biden, 81, to prove that he is up to the task of campaigning against former President Trump as major Democratic Party donors pressure him to drop out in favor of a younger candidate.
Axios reported comments from a "high-ranking Democratic National Committee official" who said, "The only thing that can really allay concerns is for the president to demonstrate that he's capable of running this campaign."
