This was stated by Charles Myers, the main donor to the Democratic Party and chairman of Signum Global Advisors, RBC-Ukraine reports citing Bloomberg.

"I think we'll find out in the next four to five days whether the president stays in the race. I don't think he has three weeks to make a decision," Myers said.

He expects more elected Democratic politicians to publicly call on Biden to drop out of the race and allow someone else to run for president.

According to the Democratic Party donor, the biggest concerns are coming from elected Democrats who hold vulnerable seats in both the House and Senate. They are facing tough elections, and there is a risk that Biden's candidacy will reduce voter turnout.

"I'm actually hearing more pressure and a lot more panic (among politicians - ed.) than among donors," Myers added.
